My girl friend started reading and writing mail using Emacs a few weeks
ago. Since she is a real Computer/Unix/Emacs novice, I had to replace
the standard Emacs mail commands with Gnus equivalents. I ended up with
the following code in her personal Emacs initialization file:
;;; Replace the standard mail commands with Gnus equivalents.
(defun gnus-mail ()
"Start composing a mail."
(interactive)
(unless (get-buffer "*Group*")
(save-window-excursion (gnus)))
(gnus-group-mail))
(define-key ctl-x-map "m" 'gnus-mail)
(define-key-after menu-bar-tools-menu [rmail]
'("Read Mail" . gnus) 'gnus)
(define-key-after menu-bar-tools-menu [compose-mail]
'("Send Mail" . gnus-mail) 'rmail))
Maybe this code is useful for the FAQ.

You might also want to have a look at the variable mail-user-agent.
You could try to set this variable to message-user-agent instead of
your code -- does that make sense?

Yes it does but setting message-user-agent doesn't change the behavior
of the "Tools/Read mail" menu item to call gnus. I believe that should
be the case if we want to get something consistent ie not reading mail
with RMAIL and sending mail with GNUS when mail-user-agent is set to
message-user-agent. So I consider the following lines as useful:
