gnus: Little Disk Space
11.5.3 Little Disk Space
------------------------
The startup files can get rather large, so you may want to cut their
sizes a bit if you are running out of space.
‘gnus-save-newsrc-file’
If this is ‘nil’, Gnus will never save ‘.newsrc’—it will only save
‘.newsrc.eld’. This means that you will not be able to use any
other newsreaders than Gnus. This variable is ‘t’ by default.
‘gnus-read-newsrc-file’
If this is ‘nil’, Gnus will never read ‘.newsrc’—it will only read
‘.newsrc.eld’. This means that you will not be able to use any
other newsreaders than Gnus. This variable is ‘t’ by default.
‘gnus-save-killed-list’
If this is ‘nil’, Gnus will not save the list of dead groups. You
should also set ‘gnus-check-new-newsgroups’ to ‘ask-server’ and
‘gnus-check-bogus-newsgroups’ to ‘nil’ if you set this variable to
‘nil’. This variable is ‘t’ by default.
