message-mode trying to auto-save bogus file names

message-mode trying to auto-save bogus file names

[Greg Stark]

I just recently upgraded to pgnus from whatever shipped with 20.3 and I'm
finding a few minor problems. Right now my drafts folder, which had been
working flawlessly is doing something strange.

Firstly the drafts folder appears to be ~/News/drafts/drafts which seems
strange enough, but then I see things like:

buffer-auto-save-file-name's value is 
"/home/stark/Mail/drafts/#*message*#"

There are at least two things wrong with that variable, for one it's the wrong
directory, for another that's a pretty bad choice of filenames. It seems to me
we should just set auto-save-visited-file-name to t for drafts files anyways.

Also, it's really annoying to be asked if i want to save a mail when i haven't
written anything in it yet. It would be nice to flip the modified flag off
just after setting up the headers.

That's the correct location...

That's odd.  When do you get this?  When you `a' in the group buffer
or something?
