But with 'gnus-default-article-saver' set to 'gnus-summary-save-in-file', the articles are appended to a news file. M-x delete-file wants to delete the whole file, right? What I want to do is to save articles, and selectively delete individual articles when they are no longer desired. The reason for saving some articles is that they give me solutions to problems, or sometimes just interesting problems that I want to investigate further. Being able to save, read, and delete articles as if the saved-article directory were a newsgroup seems like a powerful way to do this, but I can't figure out how. -- Hugh Lawson hlawson@triad.rr.com
