Fixed in 5.27.  This has been wrong for ages but I didn't fix it
because I thought the mark command bindings were rotten anyway.
The new bindings may not be any more mnemonic, but they do have
the saving grace of being easier to type.

It should, but I haven't figured out how to do it without
duplicating the doc string.

The duplicates seem to be caused by a strange interaction between
the From headers of some of your messages and B news' rnews.  I
haven't noticed any messages disappearing.  There has been some
noticable propagation delay on a few messages from AT&T.  I
received a reader comment about your recent `point-to-register'
posting a whole day before the posting itself arrived here and
was gatewayed.
