With `M-x customize-variable RET boxquote-kill-ring-save-title RET' or a
setq in your .gnus.el

Could be:

(setq boxquote-kill-ring-save-title 
	#'(lambda ()
	    (if (string= mode-name \"Article\")
	      (aref gnus-current-headers 4)
	      (buffer-name))))

Simply eval that form (put your cursor behind the last closing
parentheses and press `C-x C-e'.  Then try to copy something from an
article buffer.

How did you use it?

The answer is: the quotes around "Article" do not need to be escaped.

(if (string= mode-name "Article")

...works just fine.

Thanks for the feedback!
