In the beginning of my Gnus days, I thought it was strange too, but I got used to it, and actually found it to be for the good, because it got me more focused: either I decide to read something, and then I do it, or I don't. How to archive for a fixed time, while not a bad idea, I don't know, but as for saving articles, there are tons of ways, perhaps too many. Check out: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/Saving-Articles .html#Saving-Articles The great thing with Gnus as I see it is 1) you configure it, and write Lisp stuff, in the way you are so used to from Emacs (it's a head start), 2) the finger habits (muscle memory) of editing, killing, yanking, etc., are (obviously) those known from Emacs, and 3) the integration with everything else: for example, if I'm asking a question on programming in some newsgroup, I can just switch buffer to the source code, `kill-ring-save' some function that won't work, yank it into the post, and send it. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
