+so that it may be used as a real method of the server which is named
+@code{"archive"} (that is, for the case where
+@code{gnus-message-archive-method} is set to @code{"archive"}) ever
+since.  If it once has been saved, it will never be updated by default

+mean the @code{nnfolder} server like this at all times.  If you want the
