This works:
(defun process-sender (sender)
(gnus-kill "From" sender '(gnus-summary-mark-as-processable 1) t) )
(defun process-sender-at-point ()
(interactive)
(save-window-excursion ; better way
(gnus-summary-select-article) ; to do this?
(let ((sender (gnus-article-header-value "From")))
(process-sender sender) )))
I crosspost this to gnu.emacs.help - perhaps someone
there knows how to set the article in the summary
buffer but without brining it up visually, which would
un-necessitate the use of `save-window-excursion'...
