This has been fixed in the upcoming release. I integrated the patch
that was posted to the net by Per Headland.

If using the most recent release (v1.1 PL8) you can:

1. Use the auto-selection feature (^K) to mark articles that interest
   you. Read the section in the manual page for more details.

2. Use the '.' command to mark articles & threads as selected and than
   reduce the number of articles to the selected articles by the 'X'

   command.
