The Summary Buffer


The Summary Buffer
******************

   A line for each article is displayed in the summary buffer.  You can
move around, read articles, post articles and reply to articles.

   The most common way to a summary buffer is to select a group from the
group buffer (see Selecting a Group.).

   You can have as many summary buffers open as you wish.
