Pick and Read
-------------

   Some newsreaders (like `nn' and, uhm, `nn') use a two-phased reading
interface.  The user first marks the articles she wants to read from a
summary buffer.  Then she starts reading the articles with just an
article buffer displayed.

   Gnus provides a summary buffer minor mode that allows
this--`gnus-pick-mode'.  This basically means that a few process mark
commands become one-keystroke commands to allow easy marking, and it
makes one additional command for switching to the summary buffer
available.

   Here are the available keystrokes when using pick mode:

`SPACE'
     Pick the article (`gnus-summary-mark-as-processable').

`u'
     Unpick the article (`gnus-summary-unmark-as-processable').

`U'
     Unpick all articles (`gnus-summary-unmark-all-processable').

`t'
     Pick the thread (`gnus-uu-mark-thread').

`T'
     Unpick the thread (`gnus-uu-unmark-thread').

`r'
     Pick the region (`gnus-uu-mark-region').

`R'
     Unpick the region (`gnus-uu-unmark-region').

`e'
     Pick articles that match a regexp (`gnus-uu-mark-by-regexp').

`E'
     Unpick articles that match a regexp (`gnus-uu-unmark-by-regexp').

`b'
     Pick the buffer (`gnus-uu-mark-buffer').

`B'
     Unpick the buffer (`gnus-uu-unmark-buffer').

`RET'
     Start reading the picked articles (`gnus-pick-start-reading').  If
     given a prefix, mark all unpicked articles as read first.  If
     `gnus-pick-display-summary' is non-`nil', the summary buffer will
     still be visible when you are reading.

   If this sounds like a good idea to you, you could say:

     (add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'gnus-pick-mode)

   `gnus-pick-mode-hook' is run in pick minor mode buffers.
