Yes, you can use the function gnus-summary-work-articles to get a list
of all process-marked articles. Have a look in
gnus-summary-move-article for an example. Remember to wrap the code in
(eval-after-load 'gnus-sum (...))

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
