Thanks Tassilo-

That worked for getting to the mail.  The default layout for messages
looks a bit ugly for my taste, so I'll need to read up on how to change
this.  I assume I can also do the things I'm used to in mutt such as
mark messages as important, gpg sign, include citations in the message
body easily, etc.?

Perhaps someone on the list can point me to a nice, heavily-commented
.gnus file from which I can learn and pilfer some of the above? ;-)
