Variable: gnus-message-archive-group

gnus-message-archive-group is a customizable variable defined in gnus.el.gz.

Value

((format-time-string "sent.%Y-%m"))

Documentation

Name of the group in which to save the messages you've written.

This can either be a string; a list of strings; or an alist of regexps/functions/forms to be evaluated to return a string (or a list of strings). The functions are called with the name of the current group (or nil) as a parameter.

If you want to save your mail in one group and the news articles you write in another group, you could say something like:

  (setq gnus-message-archive-group
'((if (message-news-p)
"misc-news"
"misc-mail")))

Normally the group names returned by this variable should be unprefixed -- which implicitly means "store on the archive server". However, you may wish to store the message on some other server. In that case, just return a fully prefixed name of the group --
"nnml+private:mail.misc", for instance.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.32.
