I don't know, really. Maybe the step from saving one set of marks to
saving a stack of sets is not that great.

That's fine. As long as it's customizable, I won't complain.

Well, moving articles for example. There's plenty you can do.

Maybe you want to poll gnu.emacs.gnus?

It's `* t' in Dired, t is for toggle, but `* i' is also fine.

Well, of course it works now when I've had some sleep!

I don't understand why it shouldn't mark hidden tracks. They are not
hidden for that reason. If you want to have it this way, it is
inconsistent with commands that pick up marked hidden tracks.
