Re: How to change the default ~/Mail and ~/News dirs with their subdirs?

.. I forgot: this might be important:
I put in ~/.gnus.el the following:

(setq gnus-select-method  '(nnml "received-mail"
				 (nnml-directory "~/mail/received-mail")
))

Re: How to change the default ~/Mail and ~/News dirs with their subdirs? [solved]

[Rodolfo Medina]

Thanks to this list, and in particular to Adam and Katsumi, it seems
that I managed to change the gnus default ~/Mail and ~/News dirs
with all their subdirs into other dirs and subdirs at my pleasure.
Other adjustments will probably necessary in the future, using Gnus,
and I'll be seeing if it really works: it seems it does, now.
I'm reporting my ~/.gnus.el to show the necessary settings I had to do.
I have:
Gnus version 5.11, included in Emacs CVS 21.3.50.1 of 2005-03-13.

Thanks,
Rodolfo
