This probably ought to be in both the NTEmacs and Gnus FAQs, so this has been CC'd to the ntemacs mailing list. This is valid for Gnus 5.2.somehighnumber. I suggest getting the latest one you can find, as there were several NT-specific bugfixes inside there. It will probably work on Gnus 5.3, but no guarantees. First, for SMTP, you want smptmail.el. You can retrieve this from courtesy of the NTEmacs FAQ. I then have the following incantations in my .emacs: ;;; Mail! (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "localhost") (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it) (setq message-user-organization "Schenley Park Research, Inc.") (require 'smtpmail) Note that the smtp-server variable should point to your smtp server. Mine just happens to be on localhost. That done, there are a couple of variables you will want to set in your .gnus file: ;;; Select Method (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.usaor.net")) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnfolder "~/Mail"))) ;; Needless to say, this needn't be nnfolder, and it needn't be in ;; ~/Mail ;;; Some other things (setq gnus-use-long-file-name nil) ; This used to be necessary, but a ; later version of gnus fixed it so ; that colons became underscores. ;;; Mail! (setenv "MAILHOST" "schenley.com") (setq nnmail-spool-file '("po:md5i" "po:root")) ;; "po:username" for whatever your mailhost is. This requires ;; movemail, which comes with NTEmacs. Red Gnus will have native POP ;; support. (Yeah!) (setq nnmail-pop-password-required t) (setq nnmail-pop-password "nottellingyou") (setq nnmail-use-long-file-names t) ; Suit to taste (setq nnmail-crosspost-link-function 'copy-file) ; Needed! All this is a minimal gnus installation. You will probably want to look up and set a whole hoard of other options. As with any program, I suggest checking the documentation of any and all variables I have mentioned here before using them. It is possible that one of these is not set the way you would actually like it. And you should _always_ understand what is in your .emacs. Hope this helps! -- Michael Duggan (md5i@schenley.com)
