I also got a report from Hiroshi Fujishima yesterday that there
is a problem in Gnus.  When a user types the `t' key in the
summary buffer, mouse-face spreads over the whole article header.
It is required that the value for gnus-treat-buttonize-head is
`head' (which is the default).  I haven't investigated it yet,
though.

Thanks.  Your patch looks pertinent.  I'll install it tomorrow
(I need time to write ChangeLog entries :-).
