MacKenzie) Newsgroups: gnu.emacs.gnus Subject: default output path request Message-ID: <9002221842.AA11802@eng.umd.edu> Date: 22 Feb 90 18:42:30 GMT Sender: karl_kleinpaste@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Distribution: gnu Organization: The Lines: 16 For outputting an article to a file, one of the formats that rn supports but GNUS doesn't come with is "news.group/article". That is, I would like to have the minibuffer prompt after I hit o or ^o to be ~/News/gnu.emacs.gnus/ so I can save the articles in that directory with descriptive names. GNUS supports ~/News/gnu/emacs/gnus/ and ~/News/[gnu.emacs.gnus] (where the newsgroup is a file name, not a directory name), but not what I want. Can someone provide some lisp to do what I want? I'm getting tired of typing in the newsgroup name manually, and I'm not a good lisp hacker. I tried to modify one of the default output functions to do what I wanted, but couldn't figure out how. -- David J. MacKenzie
