Those two directories exist because Gnus makes two "nndraft" groups
within `gnus-directory' automatically.  nndraft:drafts is for saved
unsent messages, while nndraft:queue is where "sent" messages are
diverted to whenever Gnus is in "unplugged" (offline) mode, or if you
set the variable `gnus-agent-queue-mail' to t.

FYI, according to the docstring of `message-auto-save-directory', it is
only used when Gnus isn't running.  You might be better off setting it
to what Gnus is trying to use.

Your directory setup is cool for portability.  I think I'll steal it. :)

Best, WGG
