The only things I really use them for are for moving articles around
and expiring them. Consider:
# # # # M-& E (mark some articles, then expire the batch)
# # # # B m (mark some articles and move them somewhere)
M P b B DEL (mark everything visible, and delete it)
It's a useful feature to have, but not something I really use every
day.

I like to put NGs under topics. For example, I may open gmane and
subscribe to many groups at one time, and I mark all Emacs related
groups (like Bongo ;-p), and T m emacs RET
For emails, I dont do split while receiving them. I keep them in inbox
thus I wont forget to reply them when I have time. And after some time,
when things settled, I move them to specific groups for archiving. I use
structure like:
biz.some-company
prv.some-person
So I frequently do mark, B m
Mostly for these two purposes.

Why not just `E E E E'?

Okay. Yes, moving seems like a popular use case.

Hi,
I'm curious about how people use process marks.
So, if you want, just reply with a description of
what you use process marks for, and how.
Thanks,
