When Emacs crashes while I'm composing a message in Gnus, I expect
the associated auto-save file to appear in the nndraft:drafts group.
It happened to me just a couple of minutes ago.=B9  A file
~/News/drafts/drafts/#42#, say, was left behind.  However, Gnus does
not recognize this file.

After `mv #42# 42', all is dandy and Gnus sees the draft.

So, we have two alternatives:

(1) Have Emacs auto-save into ~/News/drafts/drafts/42 rather than
    ~/News/drafts/drafts/#42#.

(2) Have nndraft.el grok the #42# style filenames.

Or should I have done a M-x recover-session RET before starting Gnus?
But Gnus deals automatically with its ~/.newsrc auto-save file,
doesn't it?
