Saving of normal news articles using a mail backend

Saving of normal news articles using a mail backend

[Kees de Bruin]

Hello.

I'm currently using nnfolder to read my mail, but I also have a large
collection of saved news articles. I can use `G f' to incorporate these
archives, but for new news articles, I can't figure out how to store these
in an nnfolder (besides a direct store as Unix mbox file).

Can it harm my folders if I directly save to these folders (in mbox format
of course), or should I think of something else.

Kind regards,

Kees de Bruin

Don't use 'o' (gnus-summary-save-article), use the article movement
commands under 'B.'  In particular, you want 'B c'
(gnus-summary-copy-article) this will copy from one newsgroup to another
using the appropriate functions for adding articles to your nnfolder.

Use `B c' to save news articles in mail folders.
