Saving what you post on nn

In your file .nn/init  add this line:

        set default-save-file ~/subdir/filename

or
        set default-save-file filename

 [use the latter if you want the 'filename' to be on your root directory.]

I also use these two commands in my .nn/init:

       set mail-record ~/.nn/mymail
       set news-record ~/.nn/mynews

The first one automatically saves any personal mail that I send from nn.  
The second automatically saves any items that I post via nn.

Beware, the files will become very large.  From time to time you will 
want to use nn's G/ command to go to these as filds,  prune them, and 
file some of the messages to other collections, etc.)

Note:  you can use mm to read files created by nn and you can use nn to
read files created by mm.  Before you do so, you should use 

     cp file file.bak    [replace 'file' with your names]

to be sure that you have a backup, just in case the program corrupts a
file of another program.  Each program has some mail-handling commands that
the other does not have.

Enjoy!
