oh cthulhu! yes, yes, yes. If it can be done in a manner that is
apparent with the least amount of configuration entries, that would be
fantastic!
I've sort of given up tracking where Gnus creates all the files and
simply copy random files and folders over(not really) to any other
machine when I migrate.
But I wish if something like LaTeX TEXMF was designed (or something
simpler if you want) to cater to all the twisted ways of Gnus. And I
mean that in the nicest sense possible.
