[Newbe] Few questions...

[Boris DAIX <Boris.Daix@insa-lyon.fr>]

Hi,

   I'm new to Gnus and more generally new to Linux... I use Gnus
provided by CVS snapshots for Debian, so it should be the latest
version. I have few questions and would be very happy if they were
answered to :

   - I'd like to sign my mail with gpg. I've put what was needed in
     dot files, and use C-c RET s s to sign but I then jump to
     something I don't understand. I made "INS" to add my pub key, but
     what should I put in "e-mail address" ? My personnal one ? And
     is PEM format the "armored" one ?
   - How to get T H effect ON when I go in Group and Summary buffers
     without to have to type it once (I'd prefer hiding empty groups
     and threads by default - I use topics in group buffer) ?
   - How to get subject and author inversed in summary buffer (my
     gnus-summary-line-format is the default for the moment but it
     doesn't contain what I would like to switch...) ?
   - Why drafts shown in my group buffer can't be hidden if I read
     them/mark them expirable and run the expire process on this group
     (the group comes to 0 articles, but if I make g it comes back
     like if there were new drafts) ?
   - When I initially launch gnus, how to see all NGs on server (A z,
     A k, A l <n> with n=1,2,3 don't show me anything except new NGs
     (one or two of them) with A z) without to do B nntp
     <my.nntp.entenred.in.dot.gnus) ?

   Ok, it seams to be enough. I thank you a lot for paying attention
and would be interested in good links to learn more. I have to say
I've read the manual, went to www.gnus.org, my.gnus.org (where there
is a broken link on gpg howto from pgp howto), www.gnusfr.org. Forgive
me for newbeness, but when I'll be more familiar, I'll help ;-)
