Hello Katsumiさん

I have read again the documentation of gnus-article-browse-delete-temp.
Here is the bit that interests me:

"If nil, don't delete temporary files"

I understand that if the variable is set to nil the temporary files
should not be deleted.

I am trying to keep those files so I am guessing the bit you quoted
Reiner Steib will not help me.
