Saving washed articles?

Saving washed articles?

Hi,

Is there anyway to wash an article, say `W H', and then save the washed
article to disk?

Cheers,

This replaces the article in Gnus with the washed version.  If instead you
wanted to just save the text of the washed version to a separate file but
leave the original alone, you could wash the article as desired, and then
C-x o to switch to the article pane, C-x h to highlight the whole buffer,
and then M-x write-region to write it to a file.  (There's probably some
slightly more elegant way to do that, but that's what my finger memory
remembers.)

Hi,

Thanks for both replies - it's the latter I wanted.  Pretty much what I
do - I just wondered if there was an "official" more elegant solution.

Cheers,

You may try with 'o', gnus-summary-save-article.
