So saving an article becomes the functional equivalent of making the article persistent in that newsgroup. I find that saving articles presents me with a diffiuclty: what to name it and where to file it! Even then, will I remember to go looking at the saved information. Initially it seems to me when we save news articles, we are really wanting to hold the article indefinitely - not just stuff it somewhere else. Does this make sense to anyone? Any takers? Is this an appropriate use for viirtual groups mixing mail and news in the same group? Comments? Rants? Jason
