As long as the files get read, you can put whatever option in whatever file. For example, I have a subdirectory with Gnus files, then I load them all from .emacs with `load-file'. If you are interested how that might work, check out: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/.emacs http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/gnus/ That said, that's nothing I'd recommend as a solution that is "better" than anyone else's. If you don't have tons of configuration for Gnus, why don't stick with .emacs and .gnus? - only when it gets out of hand, it becomes necessary to split everything into several files. > Also is this the right place to ask about using > openssl, gnutls, and other non-Emacs apps needed to > make gnus a mail reader as well as a news reader? It is the right place, but to read mail with Gnus is easy. The setup is very easy. This http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/conf/emacs-init/gnus/mail.el should get you started with SMTP and POP - don't mind the initial defun stop, start reading at the comment that says "SMTP". If you need other protocols I can't help you, but I can assure you that is easy as well. -- underground experts united
