Hi all.

I've been trying to set up the XEmacs gnus so that I can decode
messages automatically without user intervention. If the decoder tries
to decode a file that already exists, just overwrite it. Continue
without exception.

To that end, I've got the following set up in my .emacs:

(require 'gnus-uu)
(setq gnus-uu-be-dangerous 't)
(setq gnus-uu-grabbed-file-functions 'gnus-uu-grab-move)

What I've read in the documentation is that setting be-dangerous to
true means that the decoder will overwrite anything. However, it's not 
doing this. When I mark several messages when decode them with X u, it 
tells me that a file already exists, ring the bell and stops the
decoding process.

I really would like it if it didn't ring the bell, and I need it to
continue with the next message instead of stopping.


What's wrong? How do I set up gnus to do this?

Thanks for any help.
