I don't think this is a bug.  None of the commands in the article buffer
are regular commands, and you can't disable them with

(put 'gnus-summary-edit-article 'disabled t)

If you want to redefine commands in the article buffer, you have to bind
their keys.

I see. So the real bug is in the describe-key function, not telling the
user all the details! I'll Cc bug-gnu-emacs!

I also note one sees Describe Key: e-
in the minibuffer, with a "-" added.

Anyway, how can I disable it in the *Article* buffer too?
