6.4.4.1: SOUP Commands

These are commands for creating and manipulating SOUP packets.

`G s b`	Pack all unread articles in the current group (`gnus-group-brew-soup`). This command understands the process/prefix convention.
`G s w`	Save all SOUP data files (`gnus-soup-save-areas`).
`G s s`	Send all replies from the replies packet (`gnus-soup-send-replies`).
`G s p`	Pack all files into a SOUP packet (`gnus-soup-pack-packet`).
`G s r`	Pack all replies into a replies packet (`nnsoup-pack-replies`).
`O s`	This summary-mode command adds the current article to a SOUP packet (`gnus-soup-add-article`). It understands the process/prefix convention (see Process/Prefix).

There are a few variables to customize where Gnus will put all these thingies:

`gnus-soup-directory`	Directory where Gnus will save intermediate files while composing SOUP packets. The default is ``~/SoupBrew/`'.
`gnus-soup-replies-directory`	This is what Gnus will use as a temporary directory while sending our reply packets. ``~/SoupBrew/SoupReplies/`' is the default.
`gnus-soup-prefix-file`	Name of the file where Gnus stores the last used prefix. The default is ``gnus-prefix`'.
`gnus-soup-packer`	A format string command for packing a SOUP packet. The default is ``tar cf - %s \| gzip > $HOME/Soupout%d.tgz`'.
`gnus-soup-unpacker`	Format string command for unpacking a SOUP packet. The default is ``gunzip -c %s \| tar xvf -`'.
`gnus-soup-packet-directory`	Where Gnus will look for reply packets. The default is ``~/`'.
`gnus-soup-packet-regexp`	Regular expression matching SOUP reply packets in `gnus-soup-packet-directory`.
