I think there is a bug with nndraft-directory and
message-auto-save-directory. I want all my drafts to be stored in
"~/Mail/News/drafts", so I have this in my .emacs file:
(setq gnus-directory (expand-file-name "~/Mail/News")
gnus-kill-files-directory gnus-directory
gnus-dribble-directory gnus-directory
nndraft-directory gnus-directory)
The problem: with gnus running, when I create a draft (by running
gnus-group-mail, for instance, and then hitting C-c C-d), the
directory "~/Mail/drafts" is created. The draft is saved into the
right place, "~/Mail/News/drafts", though. I've fixed this by setting
the variable message-auto-save-directory to "~/Mail/News/drafts", but
I shouldn't have to: the documentation for that variable says
*Directory where Message auto-saves buffers if Gnus isn't running.
If nil, Message won't auto-save.
Note the clause "if Gnus isn't running".
Does anyone else get this behavior, or is something screwy with my
setup?

Gnus doesn't kill people, Emacs kills people.
