gnus: Various Various

 
 9.20 Various Various
 ====================
 
 ‘gnus-home-directory’
      All Gnus file and directory variables will be initialized from this
      variable, which defaults to ‘~/’.
 
 ‘gnus-directory’
      Most Gnus storage file and directory variables will be initialized
      from this variable, which defaults to the ‘SAVEDIR’ environment
      variable, or ‘~/News/’ if that variable isn’t set.
 
      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.
 
 ‘gnus-default-directory’
      Not related to the above variable at all—this variable says what
      the default directory of all Gnus buffers should be.  If you issue
      commands like ‘C-x C-f’, the prompt you’ll get starts in the
      current buffer’s default directory.  If this variable is ‘nil’
      (which is the default), the default directory will be the default
      directory of the buffer you were in when you started Gnus.
 
 ‘gnus-verbose’
      This variable is an integer between zero and ten.  The higher the
      value, the more messages will be displayed.  If this variable is
      zero, Gnus will never flash any messages, if it is seven (which is
      the default), most important messages will be shown, and if it is
      ten, Gnus won’t ever shut up, but will flash so many messages it
      will make your head swim.
 
 ‘gnus-verbose-backends’
      This variable works the same way as ‘gnus-verbose’, but it applies
      to the Gnus back ends instead of Gnus proper.
 
 ‘gnus-add-timestamp-to-message’
      This variable controls whether to add timestamps to messages that
      are controlled by ‘gnus-verbose’ and ‘gnus-verbose-backends’ and
      are issued.  The default value is ‘nil’ which means never to add
      timestamp.  If it is ‘log’, add timestamps to only the messages
      that go into the ‘*Messages*’ buffer (in XEmacs, it is the
      ‘ *Message-Log*’ buffer).  If it is neither ‘nil’ nor ‘log’, add
      timestamps not only to log messages but also to the ones displayed
      in the echo area.
 
 ‘nnheader-max-head-length’
      When the back ends read straight heads of articles, they all try to
      read as little as possible.  This variable (default 8192) specifies
      the absolute max length the back ends will try to read before
      giving up on finding a separator line between the head and the
      body.  If this variable is ‘nil’, there is no upper read bound.  If
      it is ‘t’, the back ends won’t try to read the articles piece by
      piece, but read the entire articles.  This makes sense with some
      versions of ‘ange-ftp’ or ‘efs’.
 
 ‘nnheader-head-chop-length’
      This variable (default 2048) says how big a piece of each article
      to read when doing the operation described above.
 
 ‘nnheader-file-name-translation-alist’
      This is an alist that says how to translate characters in file
      names.  For instance, if ‘:’ is invalid as a file character in file
      names on your system (you OS/2 user you), you could say something
      like:
 
           (setq nnheader-file-name-translation-alist
                 '((?: . ?_)))
 
      In fact, this is the default value for this variable on OS/2 and MS
      Windows (phooey) systems.
 
 ‘gnus-hidden-properties’
      This is a list of properties to use to hide “invisible” text.  It
      is ‘(invisible t intangible t)’ by default on most systems, which
      makes invisible text invisible and intangible.
 
 ‘gnus-parse-headers-hook’
      A hook called before parsing headers.  It can be used, for
      instance, to gather statistics on the headers fetched, or perhaps
      you’d like to prune some headers.  I don’t see why you’d want that,
      though.
 
 ‘gnus-shell-command-separator’
      String used to separate two shell commands.  The default is ‘;’.
 
 ‘gnus-invalid-group-regexp’
 
      Regexp to match “invalid” group names when querying user for a
      group name.  The default value catches some *really* invalid group
      names who could possibly mess up Gnus internally (like allowing ‘:’
      in a group name, which is normally used to delimit method and
      group).
 
      IMAP users might want to allow ‘/’ in group names though.
 
 ‘gnus-safe-html-newsgroups’
      Groups in which links in html articles are considered all safe.
      The value may be a regexp matching those groups, a list of group
      names, or ‘nil’.  This overrides ‘mm-w3m-safe-url-regexp’.  The
      default value is ‘"\\`nnrss[+:]"’.  This is effective only when
      emacs-w3m renders html articles, i.e., in the case
      ‘mm-text-html-renderer’ is set to ‘w3m’.  Display
