Do you mean "move" (B m) or "copy" (B c)?  Or maybe you want to rerun
your fixed splitting rules on the current article (B r), or see what
splitting would do with it (B q)?

All of these commands are run from the summary buffer, and will run on
all marked articles or the current article if none are marked.  So to
respool every visible article in the current group, you could do
M P b B r.
