Hi, Dunno If I am right, but look into the code of spam.el revealed this to me : (defcustom spam-bogofilter-database-directory nil "Directory path of the Bogofilter databases." :type '(choice (directory :tag "Location of the Bogofilter database directory") (const :tag "Use the default")) :group 'spam-ifile) ^^^^^^^^^^ Correct me if I am wrong but I think it would be better to have it in the right customization group aka 'spam-bogofilter', no ? If yes, then here is a small patch (my 1st contribution for Gnus :)) Cheers, zeDek
