Gnus

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/
