Makes sense. But:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gnus-save-newsrc-file is a variable defined in ‘gnus-start.el’.
Its value is t
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ls -l ~/.newsrc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 albinus albinus 0 Mar 12 2012 /home/albinus/.newsrc
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So the file isn't saved for 6 years ...
Best regards, Michael.
