Thank you! It works, though it isn't too great because it's asking for each and every article where to save it rather than saving all articles that are marked with the process mark to the same file. It also leaves to delete the save articles afterwards. Isn't there a better way to do this? -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us.
