Set up Gnus for mail usage. :-) Let's see... that's choosing which mail backend to use, and then setting up the mail sources (file, pop, maildir) for incoming mail, and configuring outgoing mail (using local sendmail or smtpmail.el). I think setting up mail splitting would be something that's not ideally suited for an assistant, because it's just one thing -- it's not a process that you need guiding for. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
