Mail/drafts is still at ~/

Mail/drafts is still at ~/

[anhnmncb]

After setting:
      (setq gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus")
      (setq message-directory (concat gnus-home-directory "/Mail"))
Everything goes well except that when I postpone a mail, drafts will go
into ~/Mail/drafts, not the expecting ~/.emacs.d/gnus/Mail/drafts.
Still a bug too?

The relevant variable `nndraft-directory' is correctly derived from
`gnus-directory':

(defvoo nndraft-directory (nnheader-concat gnus-directory "drafts/")
  "Where nndraft will store its files."

It seems to work correctly for me:

`----

Maybe for you loaded `nndraft.el' before setting those variables?

Bye, Reiner.

hi, reiner:
I tried again: write an article in newsgroup, C-x C-k to quit, then
Mail/drafts is appeared in $HOME. Maybe I've missed something?

My Gnus version 5.13

I tried

(setq gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus")
(setq message-directory (concat gnus-home-directory "/Mail"))

in ~/.gnus.el and got "~/News/drafts" for `nndraft-directory'.
It is because `nndraft-directory' is derived from `gnus-directory'
of which the default value is determined by `gnus-home-directory'
before ~/.gnus.el is loaded.  Though I don't see why you got
"~/Mail/drafts", not "~/News/drafts".  You might have the
environment variable SAVEDIR with the value "~/Mail/" perhaps.

;; gnus.el
(defcustom gnus-home-directory "~/"
  ...)
(defcustom gnus-directory (or (getenv "SAVEDIR")
			      (nnheader-concat gnus-home-directory "News/"))
  ...)

Anyway you seem to need to set `gnus-directory' explicitly like:

(setq gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus"
      gnus-directory (concat gnus-home-directory "/News")
      message-directory (concat gnus-home-directory "/Mail"))

I have these setting:
  (setq gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus")
  (setq gnus-init-file "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/.gnus.el"
        gnus-inhibit-startup-message t)
in ~/.emacs

and this:
(setq message-directory (concat gnus-home-directory "/Mail"))
in ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/.gnus.el

I also check the enviroment, no $SAVEDIR defined.
So be confused much.

I didn't set the gnus-directory,  will try it.

I tried exactly the same settings as yours, and I got:

gnus-directory    => "~/.emacs.d/gnus/News/"
nndraft-directory => "~/.emacs.d/gnus/News/drafts/"

And the draft was saved in the file:

/home/yamaoka/.emacs.d/gnus/News/drafts/drafts/1

That's a mystery.

Hi, reiner, seems the variable is right, but ~/Mail/drafts still
appears, though it's empty, don't know why.
I've testied after rm -r ~/Mail several times.
------
nndraft-directory is a variable defined in `nndraft.el'.
Its value is 
"~/.emacs.d/gnus/News/drafts/"
