If that's the case, I'm back to my original question:

I save articles using gnus-summary-save-in-rmail (I would be willing
to change to gnus-summary-save-in-mail if that would help
anything). This generates a babyl format file (one per group). Later,
I want to go back, look at these saved messages, and delete some of
them. I can create an nndoc group, and look at them, but I can't
DELETE them (I mean delete as in remove from disk - not mark as
read). I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one interested in
this kind of thing. What do others do with articles they have saved,
and later want to delete ?

TIA.
