(setq gnus-message-archive-group '((if (message-news-p) "news" nil))) in my .gnus file the first item sends any mail from Mail: i send to my inbox. the second seems to store what i send to news if it is news and does nothing otherwise. so since what i'm replying to from the mairix search isn't from Mail:, it seems i've left nowhere for it to go. it shows up in ~/News/drafts/drafts regardless, but then vanishes. :( i think my above reasoning is correct, though i'm not sure. (the mail-archive-file-name value shows nil as well) -- in friendship, prad
