,----[ (info "(gnus)Saving Articles") ]
| If you'd like to save articles in a hierarchy that looks something
| like a spool, you could
|
| (setq gnus-use-long-file-name '(not-save)) ; to get a hierarchy
| (setq gnus-default-article-saver
| 'gnus-summary-save-in-file) ; no encoding
|
| Then just save with `o'. You'd then read this hierarchy with
| ephemeral `nneething' groups--`G D' in the group buffer, and the top
| level directory as the argument (`~/News/'). Then just walk around to
| the groups/directories with `nneething'.
