 o [gnus-summary-save-article]

has a bug. If the article is gone, the user sees a flash, but is then
prompted to save it anyway.

Opening nndoc server on nndoc:nnml:mail.misc-26341-ephemeral...done
No such file or buffer: #<killed buffer>
No such article (may have expired or been canceled)
Appended to /tmp/ee

Apparently this only happens when reading ^D digests.

I'm not saying you need to fix why the article is gone.
I'm just saying you need to detect that the error occurred and abort
prompting the user to fill in a file name.
