I did this several times, just to check.  Each time I hit C-g, the
backtrace looks like this (with variations in the regexp being
searched for):

  re-search-forward("\\bmailto:\\([^ \n	]+\\)" nil t)
  gnus-article-add-buttons()
  gnus-treat-article(nil 1 1)
  gnus-display-mime()
  gnus-article-prepare-display()
  gnus-article-prepare(1574 nil)
  gnus-summary-display-article(1574 nil)
  gnus-summary-select-article(nil force)
  gnus-summary-show-article()
  gnus-handle-ephemeral-exit((#<buffer *Summary nnml:mail.linux*> . article))
  gnus-summary-exit()
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-exit)

So I guess if I've just looked at a digest, I want it not to be
displayed in the Article buffer, so that it doesn't get "prepared" or
"treated" or something.  So maybe I want to change the state of the
old summary buffer when leaving the ephemeral group?


By the way, there is also a delay of several seconds when entering a
digest.  I'm talking about digests of at least 20 articles, totaling
at least 1000 lines.  In this case, I get essentially the same
backtrace:

  re-search-forward("\\bmailto:\\([^ \n	]+\\)" nil t)
  gnus-article-add-buttons()
  gnus-treat-article(nil 1 1)
  gnus-display-mime()
  gnus-article-prepare-display()
  gnus-article-prepare(1574 nil)
  gnus-summary-display-article(1574 nil)
  gnus-summary-select-article()
  gnus-summary-enter-digest-group(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-summary-enter-digest-group)

This may be unavoidable, and it may just be a consequence of a slow
computer, slow disk access, and long digests.  Or is it avoidable?  (I
guess I could unsubscribe from the mailing lists that send me the long
digests, but that wasn't what I had in mind...)
