Opening more than one article buffer

Opening more than one article buffer

[news]

Hi,
   does anyone know if and how it is possible to have several *Article*
   buffers open at the same time?
   Sometimes I want to review a couple of posts/emails simultaneously.

Try stickin' something like this in your .gnus:

  ; Display each article in it's own buffer (so that one can read
  ; several groups at the same time):
  (setq gnus-single-article-buffer nil)


  Best regards,

    Adam

With this you will still have only one article buffer per group.  But
you can make as many sticky article buffers as you want.

| It is bound to A S, <menu-bar> <Article> <Make article buffer sticky>.
| 
| (gnus-sticky-article arg)
| 
| Make the current article sticky.
| If a prefix arg is given, ask for a name for this sticky article buffer.

But be aware of the fact, that a sticky article buffer doesn't have a
real relation to the original article, so you cannot reply or follow up
from it.
