I have succumbed to the temptation of pgnus. I have read this list for months, but only now have I decided to dip my toes into the water. I have installed Emacs-20.3.10, and pgnus-0.88. I installed them to d:\emacs. I have Emacs-20.3.8.1, and Gnus-5.6.45 on c:\. Questions: 1. I had a d:\emacs\lisp\gnus, when I installed emacs. I deleted this and put pgnus, under d:\emacs\site-lisp\pgnus. This didn't work as it wasn't in the load path. I therefore moved it to d:\emacs\lisp\gnus, where it worked. How to I get the site-lisp directory to add its directories to the load-path? 2. How do I proceed? I mean all my old mail, is on c:\emacs\Mail. Shall I just copy my .emacs and .gnus here copy my Mail from within Gnus or will this cause problems? 3. How do I find out what variables have changes etc? for instance I now get prompted for a POP password with nnmail. I am sure there are some things in my .gnus and .emacs that are obsolete, because I have had problems in the past, migrating to pgnus.
