I have a problem when saving articles from newsgroups.
If any author har more than one reply to a thread, all of the articles are saved with the same name, thus overwrithing what has already been saved.
Is there an option somewhere that can be set to avoid this overwriting?

I select all the messages, right click and select Save Text. Is there another way of savink the articles?

Menu->Edit->Properties->Save/Unpack->Duplicate file names change to Auto-rename.

To save the text from a message, I believe the Save Text is the only way.
Edit: You can assign a keyboard shortcut to the Save Text also.
