However, it's always instructive to learn from others and find new methods of using such a powerful tool. I've been around Emacs & Gnus for more 30 years (yes, I believe I used GNUS when it was written for TECO/Emacs), but I was never an expert in its usage. I still tend to just basically C-n & Space through the Summary buffer to read what I'm interested in and never really sat down to figure out the more advanced tools in Gnus. I'm now a little more curious. The Gnus manual in Emacs is written as a reference manual and covers a lot of complicated topics, but not in a manner of taking the novice to an expert level step by step. I'm looking for more on why each of the pieces of Gnus exist and examples of why I might want to use them. Is there such a manual around somewhere? -- David Masterson Programmer At Large
