   (1) How do I get the global-mode-string to show in the *Article*'s mode
   line?

Evaluate the following codes in gnus-Article-mode-hook.

	(kill-local-variable 'global-mode-string)

   (2) In Article-search (Esc-s/Esc-S), the prompt should display what the
   default is (the last regexp used)...

Huum. Good idea. Next version will do.

   (3) I think it would be more useful if gnus-Subject-search-article acted
   more like RMAIL-search, where there is one main difference.  In
   RMAIL-search, the current message is not searched because it has already
   been "found" by the last Esc-s (so you already "know" about it).  As it
   is, repeated search-article's will exhibit a mildly annoying stutter
   effect when the word you're looking for appears many times in the
   same article.  By the way, search-article is GREAT!

GNUS is summary (or header) buffer based, while Rmail is message
buffer based. If article search commands skip current header which is
not selected yet, you may loose it.  If you want to skip current one,
just type C-n, then type M-s.

   (4) The KILL file now allows searches for regexps - but it seems that
   this is case-dependent!  I tried using the simple

	(gnus-kill "Subject" "wrestling")

   and found that only Subjects with "wrestling", and NOT those with
   "Wrestling", had been killed.

Set variable case-fold-search to t in Subject mode buffer using
gnus-Subject-mode-hook.

   (5) Another case of case-sensitivity (no pun intended) is seen in
   gnus-Subject-sort-by-subject.  I nice fix to this function has already
   been made ("Re:"'s are now ignored in comparison of subjects), but the
   Subject comparison is still case dependent.  Is this the way you really
   want it?

Same as (4).
