I'm quite sure that setting only `gnus-home-directory' (or
`gnus-directory') and `message-directory' is sufficient to cover
proper initialization of all the variables listed below.  I can
imagine that you need to set `gnus-home-directory' (or
`gnus-directory') and `message-directory' quite early, i.e. before
Gnus/Message libraries are loaded, though.  If this is not the case,
there's a bug we'd like to fix.

`nnmail-crash-box' doesn't exist, maybe you meant `mail-source-crash-box'.

Bye, Reiner.
