It seems that I don't manage to change at my pleasure
the gnus-message-archive-method variable.
On page 119 of Gnus Manual it is said that I can change the default, which is:

(nnfolder "archive"
		 (nnfolder-directory "~/Mail/archive")
		 (nnfolder-active-file "~/Mail/archive/active")
		 (nnfolder-get-new-mail nil)
		 (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t))
		 
, with something like:

(setq gnus-message-archive-method
	'(nnfolder "archive"
		 (nnfolder-inhibit-expiry t)
		 (nnfolder-active-file "~/News/sent-mail/active")
		 (nnfolder-directory "~/News/sent-mail/")))
		 
, but it doesn't work: 
I put in my .gnus.el that stuff but the default values did not change.
Please, any thought?

Thanks,
Rodolfo
