However, that means that variables that are initialized from the variable (like gnus-article-save-directory) may not be set "correctly", if that is what the user is trying to do. However, that may not be what they are trying to do, so I think it would be wrong to "warn" the user when they do something that might be right. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
