I'm quite sure that setting only `gnus-home-directory' (or
`gnus-directory') and `message-directory' is sufficient to cover
proper initialization of all the variables listed below.  I can
imagine that you need to set `gnus-home-directory' (or
`gnus-directory') and `message-directory' quite early, i.e. before
Gnus/Message libraries are loaded, though.  If this is not the case,
there's a bug we'd like to fix.

| (setq gnus-startup-file           (concat gnus-home-directory ".newsrc"))
| (setq gnus-cache-directory        (concat gnus-home-directory "cache/"))
| (setq gnus-agent-directory        (concat gnus-directory      "agent/"))
| (setq message-auto-save-directory (concat message-directory   "drafts/"))
| (setq gnus-dribble-directory      gnus-home-directory)
| (setq nnml-directory              (concat gnus-home-directory "nnml/"))
| (setq nnml-newsgroups-file        (concat nnml-directory "newsgroup/"))

`nnmail-crash-box' doesn't exist, maybe you meant `mail-source-crash-box'.

Bye, Reiner.
