Hi all. I'm using gnus for mail. In my nnbabyl+Inbox:mail.misc, which is my RMAIL file, I have 50 messages that I would like to copy to an nndoc+/<path/filename>:<filename> (also a babyl file). I tried:
M P b
B c
The latter command wanted a location, so I gave it:
nndoc+/<path/filename>:<filename>
It responded: "Couldn't copy article ####"
I can't even copy an individual article, though "o" (output) works fine. Could someone let me know what I'm doing wrong?

nndoc is a read-only backend. If you want to copy to a babyl file you
should use the nnbabyl backend.

Andreas - Thanks for your response. Excuse the untutored questions, but:
(1) why does it work fine if I use "o" (gnus-summary-save-article), but fails using "B c" (gnus-summary-copy-article), even while in both cases I have used gnus-group-make-doc-group (see (2)).
(2) I am using "M-0 G f" (gnus-group-make-doc-group) to temporarily add the file I want to copy to. (M-0 is to make sure it knows it's a babyl file.) What is the alternative you are suggesting?
