Hi folks!

I´m relatively new to Gnus and I´d like to thank everyone involved for a fine piece of software.
It comes pretty close to what I´ve been looking for in a mail/newsreader. Still, I have a couple
of questions and remarks :

- When I try to unzip the gnus-manual-a4.ps.gz I d/l from gnus.org, I get an unexpected end of
file error. I tried to get the file 2 or three times, so either I am overlooking something or
the file on the server is corrupted. Right now I´m using the fsf-version of the manual, and I´d
like to have the illustrations that were announced to be in the other one.

- I have no clue how a get an address-book function for email or support for pgp. Is there a way?

- In my .emacs I have 
(add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-de-quoted-unreadable) 
to display german umlauts correctly. Still I get the encoded form in some messages and have to
do a W-q manually. Could someone please explain how this is supposed to work?

Thats it, right now. Be warned though : If you answer those questions, I´m likely to breed some
more :-)

cheerio
	Jerry

I'm fairly happy with BBDB:

As for PGP support, I've found Mailcrypt to be very easy to use &
install, see:

http://cag-www.lcs.mit.edu/mailcrypt/

(Although I had to patch it slightly to get it to sign articles, if
you get 'PGP exited with status 20' or similair when signing your
articles I can send you my patch)

/S
