Tricks (username icons, etc.) Well there is the Gnus tutorial here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusTutorial#toc1 It is rather old now but should get you started. You can find guidance on most of the above on the Emacs wiki too http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryGnus > > Some in-depth .emacs examples would be good.
