gnus-summary-enter-digest-group on non-digests shouldn't be so rude

[jidanni]

Fellas, I have fallen in love with C-d, so much so that I use it right
and left. The problem is when I use it on an article without first
checking if it has MIME part children, whereupon the screen flashes, and
we get
gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group: Couldn't request group: No articles in group nnml:mail.misc-25674

Why can't there be some 'one key fits all', or why can't it just act
like I did C-d RET in this case?

As a frequent C-d user (e.g. when some internet commerce site has sent
me a tracking number in HTML only), that one's bitten me too.

Hm... what's `C-d RET'...?  Ah, effectively a no-op.

I think I would like some sort of feedback.  E.g. "No MIME parts" in the
minibuffer, or whatever.

It's
I hit C-d
The bell rings "Error, Holmes".
I say "darn", and then hit RET, which I should have hit in the first place.

Right.  You basically want C-d to become RET if the message has no
parts?

I think, so do I.

This seems very reasonable, I'm in favor too.
