Actually, there is a more robust way than this:

	&&s |/usr/new/mh/lib/rcvstore +.%C^J

This defines an rn macro to save the article by "inc"ing it into a folder,
just as above.  I use this (well, almost this:  "rcvstore" is linked into
our MH bin directory as well as the lib directory, and I don't use an
automatic folder name because I group stuff by subject instead of newsgroup)
daily, and have so used it for months without problems.
