Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/25.0.50 (windows-nt) |
I am keeping my home directory ~/ synchronized through several machines
and am trying to place the .gnus init file elsewhere than in ~/. This
works fine when I put
> (setq gnus-init-file "C:/Emacs-local/.gnus.d/.gnus.el")
> (setq gnus-directory "C:/Emacs-local/.gnus.d/")
> (setq gnus-home-directory "C:/Emacs-local/.gnus.d/")
> (setq gnus-startup-file (concat gnus-home-directory ".newsrc"))
in my .emacs init file. In this case, emacs/gnus reads .gnus.el from
C:/Emacs-local/.gnus.d/ and writes/reads .newsrc and .newsrc.eld to/from
this very directory, as expected.
So far, so good. As I'd prefer to configure gnus on a machine-dependent
basis, I tried to put the code cited above in my site-start.el. This
does not have the desired effect, though.
Can someone please tell me why, and what I could do?
Many thanks in advance
Rainer
