Oddly enough, `message-directory' doesn't seem to be used much by
Message -- it's just used to initialise `message-auto-save-directory'.
It's used a lot by various bits of Gnus, though.

So I don't think any warning there is warranted.  People should just set
it in .emacs.el as usual, and things will work fine.
