Check out the 'M P' keymap in summary buffer.  ('M P C-h')  'M P a', for
example, marks all articles.  # marks a single article.  'B m' and such
commands effect all marked articles.

This question has been answered several times in this newsgroup.  You might
want to search with Google before asking such a question next time.
