Subject: Mail first, news second
Date: 14 Oct 2005 16:07:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ll0wfayo.fsf@xemacs.org> (raw)
I would like some advice in the following matter. I would like Gnus
to be a mail reader first and a news reader second. That is, I would
like my primary "select method" to be nnml. I would also like to read
news from one or more news servers, which should be "secondary select
methods". Since Gnus is a competent mail reader, that seems like a
much more logical setup than what was traditionally recommended.
I accomplished it by using the following:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnml "mail")
gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nntp "busola")))
However, it doesn't work as well as I'd like it to. For example,
there seems to be no easy way to add a group -- I always have to go
through the procedure of `G m <group name, no completion> RET nntp RET
busola RET'. It somehow feels suboptimal -- I'd like the news groups
to be valid citizens, but it seems that the
`gnus-secondary-select-methods' line isn't accomplishing that.
What is the best way to make Gnus primarily a mail reader? Has anyone
else attempted that?
