[comp.emacs] Bug in gnews hooks/index mode?

baumgart@esquire.dpw.com (Steve Baumgarten) (12/21/89)

I've become a real fan of gnews for reading news under GNU emacs, but
I've run into a possible problem with the way gnews handles hook-kill
processing.

If I go through a group article-by-article, everything works fine, and
the appropriate subjects are killed as gnews comes across them.  But
if I enter a group in index mode, hook-kill processing doesn't seem to
work at all.  Sometimes some subjects are killed and not others; other
times not all articles with a particular subject are killed.

Before I go diving into the code, has anyone else noticed this
behavior?  Is it a bug (and if so, have there been patches that I
missed)?  Or am I just overlooking something about the way hook-kill
processing is supposed to work?

Any help would be appreciated.
