Greetings New User! Your email address and a clever or insightful
quote or saying should be placed in this file before posting news
or sending mail.
Hi Folks,
I didn't fill in any of the above since this is simply a complaint about the
documentation string for the gnus-summary-move-article function and its
relatives.
The first sentence of that docstring states:
Move the current article to a different newsgroup.
That sentence is false, depending on the parameters passed.
Why couldn't it read
Move a group of articles to a different newsgroup.
? Then each of the subsequent cases define what the "group" is based on the
parameters. This way the statement is true for all cases of input parameters.
I read the first sentence and concluded that function wasn't what I needed. I
then spent 10 minutes in #emacs figuring out it DOES do what I need (move marked
articles).
