Right, back online with gnus, and with no info lost, so far as I know. Now I
have newsgroups and email, but still no system mail. The code relevant for it is

,----
| (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))
| (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
|                   '(nntp "news.gmane.org"))
|  (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnml ""))
|    (eval-after-load "mail-source"
|        '(add-to-list 'mail-sources '(file :path "/var/mail/boudiccas")))
`----

I can find no way of 'adding in' the mail-source, but that could very well be my
lack of knowledge. How can I get it working please?

Thanks
Sharon.
