Perfect! Thank you for the settings!
(I think gnus-home-directory sets everything I was asking about /except/
for Mail/, that is, it will also set News/. Perhaps the documentation on
gnus-home-directory is a little ambiguous, but then, better to leave it
up in the air a little, than to be wrong if some change is made in the
future of the-one-true-email-client.)
