   I just started using Gnus 3.10 and noticed a change in behavior from 3.8
   that annoys me. I save news articles in files like ~/News/gnu/emacs/gnus/#,
   where # is the article number. Naturally, every article (or nearly every
   article) I save doesn't exist. It's frustrating to have to answer "yes" for
   each saved article.

It is not so good idea to use RMAIL file in this case. The RMAIL file
is intended to save many messages in one file. So, asking for creation
of a new file does not matter in usual case.  Plain file or Unix
mailbox is much better than that in this case because it is possible
to read the messages using GNUS.
