Hmm, the default value of `org-refile-use-outline-path' is in my
experience not really usable with Gnorb.  Maybe the default of
gnorb-gnus-refile-use-outline-path would better be

  (or org-refile-use-outline-path 'file)

?

I hate to change such defaults, too, but what I got when I tried to
associate a message with Gnorb looked not only surprising but broken.
It gets even problematic if you have different equal headlines in
different positions, then it's not possible to select one of them AFAICT
(you get only one completion candidate with that name).  I didn't try
what happens if multiple files get into play.  I guess it gets even
worse.

What I'm probably actually saying is that org-refile-use-outline-path ->
nil gives you a confusing behavior, no matter if using Org or Gnorb.
