Nope; it's just used to have something to match agains the group
name.  It isn't ever used as a file, if my memory serves me right.

I've now introduced a new variable -- `message-directory'.  All mail
directory variables are now derived from that variable.  I've also
introduced a `gnus-directory' variable, from which all Gnus file names
are derived.  It is initialized from "SAVEDIR", so users shouldn't
notice anything.  Except that they may now set that variable instead
of the "SAVEDIR" environment variable.
