If you tag a few articles on the group or thread level and pipe them
into a cmd. the tag mark is still present till the next manually forced
screen redraw (^L)'.

Yet another new global var, why not passing a flag to show_progress() if
you're calling it direct (which is IMHO still not right)?

progress_mesg is still NULL, but is passed on to art_open() in line 467,
passing it to progress() in the end which then skips show_progress() - not
very clean IMHO.
