Well, based on what the Info docs said were the defaults, this is what I have set: (setq gnus-article-save-directory "~/news/" gnus-kill-files-directory "~/news/" gnus-nocem-directory "~/news/NoCeM/" gnus-sent-message-ids-file "~/news/Sent-Message-IDs") (setq nnml-directory "~/mail" nnmail-crash-box "~/mail/.gnus-crash-box" nnmail-message-id-cache-file "~/mail/.nnmail-cache") Did I not really need to set all of those? If the values of these variables are based on the setting of another variable, then it was not stated in the Info docs where the variables were discussed. I don't even remember seeing anything about a SAVEDIR environment variable. Where is it discussed? Is there a similar thing for mail? Is there a lisp variable that does this, or do I have to use an environment variable? I also have no way of knowing if I missed a variable somewhere. And what happens when a new variable gets added that I don't have set? I just want to set two variables and have everything go in either ~/mail or ~/news. fyi, Michael
