I'm sure you understand that as far as gnus is concerned the news server is your local machine. I meant that I use the actual hostname of my Linux box rather than `localhost.' > Really not easy in getting gnus on work. Did the developers > this on purpose ?? I don't think Lars makes it intentionally difficult. I think he tries very hard to make it useful and powerful. The typical news/mail reader these days is like a black box with a pretty face. Gnus is more like a master craftman's toolbox that has a gazillion tools packed away neatly inside. There is a learning curve. It takes some time to learn how to use the tools. I am only a novice myself but trust me on this: once you learn what you can do with gnus, you will never again be satisfied with an `ordinary' news/mail reader. -- Bud Rogers
