The real problem is too many Gnus menus then :-)
But there is plenty of room in the Article menu.

I don't think that is acceptable - E.g. apply patch on the tools menu.

Maybe we could get rid of the Options menu (in general) by moving it to
the bottom of the Edit menu where many other applications have their
"Customize..."  or "Options..." entry.

Fine with me.


BTW, why is this reply sent to Chong and not Reiner.
The headers in Reinar's response said:

Does the Mail-Followup-To header take precedense over the Reply-To header ... shouldn't Gnus use both when using wide reply (I added Reinar manually on this mail)?
