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.
