This is a nice summary of what I have just been looking through gnus
INFO and trying to figure out.

So... many gnus configurations elements can be set either interactively
or through init files (e.g., creating servers and groups). Others can
only be set interactively and saved in .newsrc. I confess, I am having a
hard time keeping clear which is which.

Are any of the "user-level customizations" above also settable in init
files?
