Apologies for jumping into the middle of this thread, but I expect one of the resident experts here can save me from shooting myself in the foot. If I create the directories `~/.gnus.d' and `~/message.d' and set `gnus-directory' and `message-directory' to them, gnus is happy but, naturally, some state information is not found. I know I need to move some gnus- and message-specific files from ~/News and ~/Mail to the new directories, but I'm not sure exactly which. cache, agent, drafts? *.SCORE? Others? Or should I just leave well enough alone? I'd like to move the gnusish bits out of ~/News and ~/Mail, but I can't really claim to have a burning need to do so. I'd appreciate recommendations from those who know about the magic gnus does behind the scenes. Best regards, Michael -- D.
