That is due to the value of the gnus-use-long-file-name variable.
The default value varies according to the system type in which
Gnus runs.  If system-type is usg-unix-v (i.e., Solaris) or
xenix, it is set to nil, otherwise t.  I don't know the reason
why it does so.  Anyway, changing it might cause some problem if
there are some files having already been created according to
it, I guess.
