This seems to be the default in Gnus 5.10 -- in this Message buffer I
get:

,----[ C-h v buffer-auto-save-file-name RET ]
| buffer-auto-save-file-name's value is 
| "/home/harder/News/drafts/drafts/#31#"
| Local in buffer *followup to Stefan Monnier on gnu.emacs.help,gnu.emacs.gnus*; global value is nil
| Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.
| 
| Name of file for auto-saving current buffer.
| If it is nil, that means don't auto-save this buffer.
