Right, I'm not posting to this list just to avoid typing C-h i
;-)  The modules in the contrib directory aren't usually
documented in the .info files.

I'm reading the news in gnus, which calls functions in
mew-gnus.el when I do certain mew-like things in gnus, like
respond by mail, or save to folders.  It looks like mew-gnus.el
only calls mew-refile-guess-by-alist, not
mew-refile-guess-by-newsgroups.

In my setup:

mew-refile-guess-control's value is 
(mew-refile-guess-by-alist mew-refile-ctrl-throw mew-refile-guess-by-newsgroups mew-refile-guess-by-folder mew-refile-ctrl-throw mew-refile-ctrl-auto-boundary mew-refile-guess-by-thread mew-refile-ctrl-throw mew-refile-guess-by-from-folder mew-refile-ctrl-throw mew-refile-guess-by-from mew-refile-ctrl-throw mew-refile-guess-by-default)

so mew-refile-guess-by-newsgroups and mew-refile-guess-by-alist
are there.

I guess the answer is to put explicit newsgroup entries in the
mew-refile-guess-alist variable, or tinker with mew-gnus.el to
call mew-refile-guess-by-newsgroups, if it knows how to read gnus
style news headers.
