Documentation

Directory variable from which all other Gnus file variables are derived.

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.
