However, they fail to mention "r", for example. The first clue I could find about that mark was in "9.18.4 Spam and Ham Processors" of all places, where it drops the hint that "r" means "explicit delete" (!). Users *really* need a little table that gives a complete guide to the built-in marks, so that when they look at the summary buffer, they know what it means. Same goes for the other Gnus buffers that support marking, BTW. K and U in the server browsing buffer are confusing as well.
