Gentlemen,
C-x s runs the command save-some-buffers, which is an interactive
compiled Lisp function in `files.el'.
It is bound to C-x s.
(save-some-buffers &optional ARG PRED)
Save some modified file-visiting buffers. Asks user about each one.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not any more.
Try it.
You'll see "(Saved .newsrc-dribble)", even before asking.

You're not passing ARG are you?
What version are you using? I cannot reproduce it on:
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600) of 2011-03-07 on 3249CTO

This is because Gnus now sets buffer-save-without-query for the dribble
file. This is desired behavior and hence only a documentation bug. The
doc-string for save-some-buffers should say something like
"Asking can be disabled for a buffer by setting the buffer-local
variable `buffer-save-without-query' to a non-nil value."

I can (partially) reproduce on the same version: save-some-buffers will
automatically save ".newsrc-dribble" if needed. But with my other
buffers, the behavior is as usual. So we can see the message "(Saved
.newsrc-dribble)" in the echo area only if there is no other buffer to
save (but it is always recorded in the *Message* buffer).

Glad this was tracked down.
Too bad there is no longer such an easy way to find out what buffers are
not saved yet without saving them just by asking.
The other ways to find out are much harder.
> What version are you using?
Ha ha ha very funny. We are all using the same version number
emacs-version "24.0.50.1" for years because it is stuck.

I think the documentation should stay put.
It is only some kiddie MicroSoft system that insists it is smarter than
you and saves things just because you ask. What if the cops sent a car
just because you called 911 and even before they asked what the problem was.

OK fine. Better get used to
Gnus auto-save file exists. Do you want to read it? (y or n) y
often the next time you start emacs. Because there is nothing left to
remind you you haven't closed gnus properly last session.

Now it does. (This feature has existed since at least Emacs 22.1.)
