The downloadable mark is a toggle and because `@' is right next to `#' (at least on the US keyboard), I frequently mistyped it and noticed that the behavior is different. Let me explain how I use the process mark and why a toggle is useful to me. When processing a large number of messages, I sometimes mark a region (or multiple regions) and then want to remove the process mark from some messages in the region and add it to some other ones outside the region. I can absolutely use `#' and `M-#`, but switching between the two quickly when going through dozens of messages requires a fair amount of dexterity. That's why I would rather mark the largest region with the most messages and then pick out the ones to add/remove with a single key that toggles the process mark. I considered if this also makes sense for group and topic marking, but it's an optimization for processing a large number of items, which is why it is probably primarily useful in summary mode. > And the `+' key isn't very mnemonic for a command that toggles the `#' > mark. I saw the `+' glyph as a piece of a `#', which is why I suggested it. -- Alex.
