Hi,
I have just installed the latest xemacs which comes with gnus and have
a few questions which I haven't seen answered in the FAQ. I am still
going through the manual, and may come across the answers soon, but if
anyone has any quick answers:
1.) While viewing the article with my cursor in the summary buffer,
the "space" bar scrolls down, but the "delete" key gives me an error
that it's a read-only buffer. How do I get the delete key mapped so
that I can scroll the article backwards? If it's not possible,
how would I map it to another key (say the "-" key)
2.) What would be the best way to bind a key to bring up the "group"
buffer no matter where I am in the gnus system (or better, to
start gnus if it isn't started, else bring up the group buffer)
3.) When replying to email, how do I get it to carry along the CC from
the message I am replying to?
4.) I am using procmail, I notice that when gnus gets the new messages
it creates a seperate file for each message, One list I subscribe
to gets over 100 posts a day, is this the best way for me to have
that list setup? If not, what's better.
5.) How would I bind a key to (or is there one already bound), to
cancel a "r", i.e. I am in the mail buffer and decide I don't
really want to send it. Right now I go to the buffer menu, find
that buffer and delete it.
Thanks, and to Lars: great package.

Sounds like someone has redefined your `DEL' key for you. Have you
loaded delbackspace (or whatever it's called)?

`F'

Does this mean that you use nnml? If you don't want a
one-file-per-message, you could use nnfolder instead.

You could just kill the buffer -- `C-x k RET'. `C-c C-k' will kill
and return to where you were.

I haven't but I'll look for it. My .emacs has:
(global-set-key "\C-d" 'delete-char)
(global-set-key "\C-h" 'delete-backward-char)
Which I stuck in there to make it work with my telnet client. Mapping
it to another key would be fine, and I know how to do that globally,
but not just while in the "gnus" mode (or "gnus-summary-buffer or
article buffer" mode)

I used nnmh as the method. I will experiment with other methods, I
was just wondering what would be best.
All your other answers were right on the mark -- bullseye. Thanks a
ton.

But the summary buffer local map should override those settings. You
haven't messed with `function-key-map' or anything like that?
