I have pretty much the same value as you do (with Gnus-5.9 from Emacs-CVS) but nothing gets saved: neither drafts/#31# nor drafts/31. Oh, I see it now: it only gets saved if I make modifications. So I just need to get Emacs to mark the buffer as modified from the start and it will get saved. Good. Now on to the next step: how do I make it so that #31# is listed in the nndrafts:drafts folder ? You see, I'd like to be able to hit `F' or `R' on messages to which I want to reply and be sure that this will be remembered in nndrafts:drafts in case I forget to reply and leave Emacs (willfully or not).
