I think the default should be to save -- or at least to save mail.
Gnus' default behaviour should be the desirable way for a user to
behave.  Surely it's desirable that people learn to keep copies of their
own correspondence?

Anyway, this is a fairly common feature to want, and without reading to
much doc it's easier to turn it off than to turn it on -- beacuse it
if it's off, it must at least occur to you that it's *possible* to turn
it on.


Regards,

Hallvard
