What I'm looking to create is a folder for 2014, which contains 12
other folders each relating to its month of the year, and holding
all the emails and newsgroups postings out for that month.

Then it appears in my gnus tree that I have monthly folders of
outgoing for 2015, and one big folder of 2014, which, when you look
inside has 12 separate folders corresponding to each month of the
year.

I had a look at "group topics" but that doesn't seem to be what I'm
looking for.

Thanks
