This is what I do: a) for messages I'm going to reply to, I immediately hit R C-c C-d if I don't have time to reply right away. (which is almost always) Then, the message is sitting in my drafts folder. b) for saving interesting messages, I use a little function I wrote: ;; bind a key that copies an article to the group ;; archive. (defun jmh:save-archive () (interactive) (let ((group-name (if (string-match ":" gnus-newsgroup-name) (substring gnus-newsgroup-name (match-end 0)) gnus-newsgroup-name))) (gnus-summary-copy-article 1 (concat "archive." group-name)))) (add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook '(lambda () (local-set-key (kbd "C-c s") 'jmh:save-archive) (local-set-key (kbd "C-c p") 'jmh:forward-to-spamcop))) This way, if I want to save a message for longer-term, I just hit C-c s. Also, be sure to add whatever your archive groups are called to the gnus-auto-subscribed-groups regexp. ttyl, -- Josh Huber
