I was just bitten by this today. I've been bitten by it, too. I don't really have time to investigate this right now, so I was hoping that somebody already has a patch (if it is Gnus's fault) or a workaround (if it is some other package's fault). I use this in my .emacs: (add-hook 'news-reply-mode-hook (function (lambda () (auto-save-mode 4)))) Seems to do the trick. But I agree, it would be nice if auto-saving were enabled by default.
