What is the point behind the following strange function in gnus/html2text.el.
It is used several times in that file.

(defun html2text-buffer-head ()
  (if (string= mode-name "Article")
      (beginning-of-buffer)
    (beginning-of-buffer)
    )
  )

Is there something I am completely missing or is this just a very
contorted way to do (beginning-of-buffer)?

Sincerely,

Luc.
