Attachment directory customization

Attachment directory customization

[romeomedina]

I saw that Gnus puts attachments in '~/tmp'.
Is it possible, and how?, to customize the directory
where Gnus puts attachments? I couldn't find an answer
in the Message Manual.

And: every time, in the message, I hit return on the
attachment in order to view it, a new folder is created
(in '~/tmp') where the attachment is stored.
If I view the attachment 'n' times within Gnus,
'n' copies of it are created.
This will waste plenty of disk space. Is it normal?
The attachment in my case is a .pdf file.

Thanks for any help,
Rodolfo

Do you mean '/tmp/' ?

Perhaps the variable 'mm-tmp-directory' is what you are looking for?

Fantastic!

To customize the attachment directory, I just put in
~/.gnus.el:
	(setq mm-tmp-directory "what/I/want")
, but first I had to create the directory "what/I/want".

. All the new files and folders that are created every time
the attachment is view are deleted when quitting gnus.

Thanks indeed,
Rodolfo
