Move Mail/ and News/ from ~/ ?

[Brady Trainor]

I am considering moving my Gnus setup to a partition I share between
OSes. In this way, tick marks, subscribed folders etc will be easier to
keep in sync.

So for instance, I hope the following will have the desired effect. 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-init-file "/e/.gnus")
(setq gnus-startup-file "/e/.newsrc")
(setq gnus-dribble-directory "/e/")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In fact, it seems this can all be done at once with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq gnus-home-directory "/e/")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But to deal with `~/Mail/` and `~/News/`, I'm not sure the most
convenient way. It appears that so many variables may point to it, that
it may be easier to simply symlink these two. 

I have considered these other variables (I got most of this from word
search in Gnus help node), but I'm unsure that they would have the
desired and complete effect. 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
nnml-directory
mail-source-directory

gnus-article-save-directory
gnus-kill-files-directory
gnus-directory
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Thank you,
