Hi, all.
I have made some modifications of default places of gnus directories, e.g.
(setq gnus-default-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus/")
(setq gnus-home-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus/")
(setq gnus-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus/News/")
(setq message-auto-save-directory "~/.emacs.d/gnus/Mail/drafts/")
it always works well. However, there exists a seemingly strange directory
$ cd ~/.emacs.d/gnus/News
$ ls
agent drafts trash
$ ls drafts
drafts queue
it means that there are two directories with the same name "drafts" exiting in the gnus
hirarchical directories. How can I do?
Thank in advance.

Best Regards,

Those two directories exist because Gnus makes two "nndraft" groups
within `gnus-directory' automatically. nndraft:drafts is for saved
unsent messages, while nndraft:queue is where "sent" messages are
diverted to whenever Gnus is in "unplugged" (offline) mode, or if you
set the variable `gnus-agent-queue-mail' to t.
FYI, according to the docstring of `message-auto-save-directory', it is
only used when Gnus isn't running. You might be better off setting it
to what Gnus is trying to use.
Your directory setup is cool for portability. I think I'll steal it. :)
Best, WGG
