Gnus is already included and so all you need to do is specify a couple of parameters in an init file, so you don't have to input everything every time you run Emacs and Gnus. What should be put in the init file depends, I suppose the most basic question is: would you like to use Gnus for mail/listbots or for news, or both? If you answer this, we'll be able to help you more... As for the best server, I use: (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "Aioe.org")) I don't know if it is the best - it doesn't require user authentication, which I like, but some people say for this reason spammers go wild. I don't know about that, I don't see much spam at all, truth be told. > I'm a long time emacs and gnus user previously, not a > programmer. It's been many years since I used gnus. > Years ago gnus was already setup on the system. It is not a big deal to setup Gnus and it can be done with no or minimal changes to the rest of the system (as in, you'll have to create a couple of dirs at most). > and I'm trying to use the information at > http://www.xsteve.at/prg/gnus/ Then, you might also be interested in my page: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/gnus/index.html The introduction is totally schematic but the screenshots are cool and there are tons of configuration. In those files, perhaps you are able to distill how to setup the basic stuff as well, but I take it there are better sources for that. -- underground experts united
