I wanted to put `Mail' and `News' in `/mnt/hda1/rodolfo'
and achieved that by:

 1) deleting the files `~/.newsrc.eld', `~/.newsrc', `~/.nnmail-cache', 
    `~/.newsrc-dribble';

 2) putting in my `~/.emacs' the following two lines:

    (setq gnus-directory "/mnt/hda1/rodolfo/News/")
    (setq message-directory "/mnt/hda1/rodolfo/Mail/")



. Cheers,
Rodolfo
