gnus automation & mail?

[David Chmelik]

     I posted earlier asking 4 - 5 reasons why gnus & gnus-unplugged 
automation; & maybe nnmail, are pain.  Most unfortunate that people 
want it.  I, reject suggestion that I or people asking for help should use 
Thunderbird (worse becuase of bugs and the one called gui to top them 
off;) and I am replying.  I learned enough lisp to make emacs send 
from any e-address I say; then yet another built-in forced/redundant 
variable ruined it.
     Lisp makes clear that the 3 variables controlling news dling are 
unclear (or I must learn more, or "interface is no better than I would 
make" and maybe different per system.)  The gnus-unplugged command to 
enable a server / group in some window works not in slackware; is this 
a variant undocumented?
     Sorry for no reply to who wrote me, consequential to using trash & web 
mailers (I always preferred rmail, 'til it destroyed mail:) I do not even 
know this is the right listserv.  You know I could say xemacs for friends, 
but it is not gnu, and neither is the os (never mind learning it...) those 
friends use, so... I still post this about emacs & xemacs.

Never mind, I put nntpserver in after news method, and then both in yet 
another area besides gnus-group/.el-files.  Though one may always have to 
go to the server screen, I must attend to many more critical little-documented 
bugs, so bye.  Just keep in mind that emacs, etc. is philosophically best 
in ethics, but try to make its' scientific coherence equal its' religious 
one.
