This is great:

OK but there should also be a message-default-directory.

So that each time one does C-x m, the new buffer's directory is consistent.

C-x m runs the command gnus-summary-mail-other-window

(Which sounds like it would make a "Gnus buffer", OK even though it
doesn't.)

OK I'll use for now:
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
	  (function
	   (lambda ()
             ;...
	     (setq default-directory "~/"))))
