I do not use nnml, only nntp and nnimap. The strings "News" and "Mail" do not appear anywhere in ~/.emacs, ~/.gnus, or ~/.newsrc.eld. Sill, Gnus keeps recreating the ~/News and ~/Mail directories: $ find News Mail News News/drafts News/drafts/drafts News/drafts/queue Mail Mail/drafts ~/Mail appears when I start to compose a new message and press C-x C-s to save the draft. The draft is saved in the proper directory (~/.news/drafts/drafts/), but ~/Mail is nevertheless created. I did not manage to observe when ~/News gets created. This seems to be a bug in Gnus. I tried grepping the Gnus source code for News and Mail, but couldn't find where the problems could sit. Any suggestions? Christoph
