XU : 0 documents saved

XU : 0 documents saved

[Robert Lopez]

wrt: oort gnus 5.10; Xemacs 21.4; Windows XP Home

I can not get any XU command to actually save.  I # mark a few files,
and type XU. The system downloads the files. I am not certain if they
are decoded at that point. At the end the minibuffer will always
say "0 documents saved".  AT that point I can select any of the
articles, now marked R, and I can select the MIME button and do a
display internally (it may be decoding then, I do not know) or I
can save.  How can I get the save to work without having to go
through each of the individual articles and manually do it? Thanks.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
