How to save source files in emacs.sources news group

[Seweryn Kokot]

Hello,

On Emacs.sources news group, when I see an Emacs source code in the body of an
article, I copy the code, open an .el file, yank the code and save the
file. I think it must be an easier way to do this, but I don't know
where to find an information.

Any hints how to do it faster in gnus?

regards,
Seweryn Kokot

Try `K b' and `K o'.

Thanks. After some tweaking I ended up with 'K b' and 'h TAB o', since 
pressing 'K o' from summary buffer saves the body of the article. 

It would be even easier if in emacs.sources newsgroup all the mime parts
were buttonized. Is any variable responsible for that?

    Try `K b' and `K o'.

Kind of apropos, I notice that people often include patches
in-line in emails, and I'm guessing there is some existing
way (in gnus) to apply a patch from right there, but I don't
know what it would be called....  Anything like that in
gnus?

Just M-x diff-mode should do it.  diff-mode is pretty good with ignoring
junk.

For nice highlight:

Or you can use `| patch' to apply it directly.
