Hi all,

Here is what I had to do (in my ~/.emacs):

(setq gnus-kill-files-directory "~/Gnus/score/"
      message-auto-save-directory "~/Gnus/drafts/"
      nnmail-message-id-cache-file "~/Gnus/.nnmail-cache"
      gnus-home-directory "~/Gnus/"
      mail-source-directory "~/Gnus/"
      gnus-directory "~/Gnus/"
      message-directory "~/Gnus/"
      mailcap-download-directory "~/Gnus/")

The above seems to do the trick for me running Gnus 2.8.8 so now all my
Gnus-specific files live in ~/Gnus .  Of course, if you want to use a
different path, you should replace ~/Gnus/ with the path you want to use.

Hope this helps.

- Matt

P.S.  I hope that its understood that I only meant the subject line
to be funny/punny, and not in a bad way. :)
