That may all be fixable, but I'm looking for speed of getting set up, too. > Regarding sending, have you installed exim and gnutls?

I thought of that, but I had another customize / .gnus conflict, I think. I can now send via smtp as describe on emacswiki.org. > Your topics should be in your .newsrc.eld afaik.

Now I think I'm down to getting bbdb to be happy. On Debian Lenny (and perhaps on Ubuntu before that), the odd numbered times I started Emacs and Gnus, bbdb would report args out of range and not display the bbdb buffer. That made sending email hard, but at least a restart would fix it. Now on LMDE (based on Debian testing), it seems to fail on both even and odd numbered invocations. I never got an answer as to what might be going on nor how to fix it. If anyone has any clues, I'm all ears. Bill
