It is possible to do all the items described in this article (and more)
directly from rn, without going through the indirect steps of mailing
each article and then running elm.  Check the rn manual page, which
describes (among other things) how to save articles (1) to a single
file (2) to a single file per newsgroup (3) to arbitrarily named files
and (4) by additional methods.  Using rn's internal macros, it's possible
to do some very sophistcated archiving.
