The text of "gfish" refers to "Pterodactyl Gnus" (Gnus > 5.8) as a "new" version of Gnus, so it is probably outdated as well. > > Please don't rely on random private web pages and consult the manual > that comes with Gnus and the Gnus tutorial instead. > > Bye, Reiner. Reiner, first, I thank you for the tutorial url, though which I am now struggling to get through, having earlier worked through other pages. Please note I was *not* relying on "random private web pages" for anything other than quoting him saying he, too, was not able to get enough information from http://gnus.org/manual.html...luckly, again, I'm not trying to follow the tutorial url instead, though looks like I will still need to post a followup question or two here after reading it.. As for the faq.org yes, that is clearly out of date...perhaps someone can request they either update or remove the out-dated gnus faq from their site? google gives http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-faq.text as second hit for "gnus faq" while http://www.faqs.org/faqs/gnus-faq/ still comes out at #1, alas..
