I'd like to keep my top-level directory tidy. I think you want to change either this variable: `gnus-home-directory' All Gnus file and directory variables will be initialized from this variable, which defaults to `~/'. Or maybe these two: `gnus-directory' Most Gnus storage file and directory variables will be initialized from this variable, which defaults to the `SAVEDIR' environment variable, or `~/News/' if that variable isn't set. Note that Gnus is mostly loaded when the `~/.gnus.el' file is read. This means that other directory variables that are initialized from this variable won't be set properly if you set this variable in `~/.gnus.el'. Set this variable in `.emacs' instead. `message-directory' Directory used by many mailey things. The default is `~/Mail/'. All other mail file variables are derived from `message-directory'. When searching for a variable controlling something, then it is often useful to search with M-x apropos-value for the value in question. -- Martin Geisler VIFF (Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework) brings easy and efficient SMPC (Secure Multi-Party Computation) to Python.
