For outputting an article to a file, one of the formats that rn
supports but GNUS doesn't come with is "news.group/article".  That is,
I would like to have the minibuffer prompt after I hit o or ^o to be
~/News/gnu.emacs.gnus/
so I can save the articles in that directory with descriptive names.
GNUS supports
~/News/gnu/emacs/gnus/
and
~/News/[gnu.emacs.gnus]
(where the newsgroup is a file name, not a directory name),
but not what I want.  Can someone provide some lisp to do what I want?
I'm getting tired of typing in the newsgroup name manually, and I'm
not a good lisp hacker.  I tried to modify one of the default output
functions to do what I wanted, but couldn't figure out how.
