 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.

`(setq debug-on-error t)', repeat the bug and post the resulting
backtrace.

Please try with the above trace.

No backtrace was included?

Doing `(setq debug-on-error t)' will not help in this case.
Hit ^D on a digest. Now quit the digest. Now go to the *Dead ...*
buffer, and try to save an article from it.
The only trace you can get is from the *Messages* buffer.

I was able to reproduce the bug, and I've now fixed it in Emacs 27.1.
