First - gnus-directory defaults to ~/News
Drafts - See section 5.7.
- Special group nndraft will hold your drafts. One file per message.
- can’t appear to change the backend for this.
- nndrafts-directory controls where this directory is located. Defaults to gnus-directory/drafts (i.e. ~/News/drafts)
- Enter draft group and type D e to continue editing message.
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
- defaults to ~/Mail
message-auto-save-directory
- defaults to ~/Mail/drafts/
