OK - let's try splitting it up!
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
(add-to-list gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nntp "news.gmane.org"))
(add-to-list gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
(setq mail-sources '((file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas")))
Almost everyone here has more lisp-cluefulness than I do!
