That's is something I noticed, but it isn't as high on my list. If
you press "s" for save, it saves it into the news directory. If you
press "o" to save to a folder, though, it puts it all into the mail
directory. Not consistent, IMO.

I did do something like that at one time with news postings. It took a
whole lot of tweaking, and Yarn would sometimes forget what directory it
was in. I had to specify it for both SentMail folders and Postings
folder, such as:
# keep copy of sent mail in this folder
sent-mail=..\Mail\SentMail
# keep copy of posted articles in this folder
sent-news=..\News\Postings
Then, I had to install for some unforgotten reason, and I was too tired
to argue with it any more.
