Subject: 24.0.50; list-buffers and Buffer-menu-select destroy marks
Date: Wed, 01 Dec 2010 07:48:33 +0800

C-x C-b runs the command list-buffers, which is an interactive
compiled Lisp function in `buff-menu.el'.

v runs the command Buffer-menu-select, which is an interactive
compiled Lisp function in `buff-menu.el'.

Both these commands, and maybe others too, destroy any previous marks made with

m runs the command Buffer-menu-mark, which is an interactive compiled
Lisp function in `buff-menu.el'.

That is a very bad thing to do! Please make a variable to control that,
with default 'no-destroy !
