Maybe nnmh has the advantage that you can just drop a file into a
directory and lo! you have saved a message.  Gnus uses this to ensure
that auto-saved messages are automatically stored in the draft folder.

If this wasn't the case, the method for auto-saving the current buffer
would have to be changed for message buffers.

Alas, Gnus doesn't auto-grok auto-saved messages.  You have to
manually rename the file from #42# to 42.  Oh, well.  I think I
reported this bug, so it might be fixed by now, but I'm too lazy to
look right now -- it's almost time to hit the sack.
