No, not all. The directory `gnus-*-directory' variables have to be set *before* gnus loads, so these should stay in your ~/.emacs (either in the customize section or as setqs). But the others can move to your ~/.gnus.el. BTW, the docs say that you should always have `gnus-article-sort-by-number' in your `gnus-article-sort-functions' as a fallback (first entry). So you probably want to go with: (setq gnus-article-sort-functions '((not gnus-article-sort-by-number) (not gnus-article-sort-by-date))) as I've written in my other mail. > After screwing things up I now have on the last line of *Group* buffer > U 0:*gnu.emacs.gnus in unbolded font.
