Ah, good question. I don't know.

I don't think the key distinction is interactive/non interactive. The key issue is whether there is a "current buffer" which you can see change. Selecting an article probably makes the article buffer current so calling the function interactively works on the article you can see. <snip> -- Ben. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
