My idea was:
-------->------------>-------
Glossary:
When I say Emacs in this FAQ I mean either FSF Emacs or XEmacs. When I
say message I mean either posting to Usenet or mail, whereas
article means posting to Usenet...

About 10-20 lines explaining things I use in the FAQ which people might
stumble about while reading the FAQ. More examples could be backend or
select-method.
-------->------------>-------

I don't really know if this matches Don's idea as I didn't really
understood what he wrote, but I'd think this would be useful.

If you thing this doesn't fit in a FAQ, then I'll perhaps call it LQAWTT
(List of Questions and Answers With Tutorial Touch) :-)

I use the following:

;set newsnet server
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.videotron.ca"))

;set email address
(setq user-mail-address "bijan@psq.com")

;setup my two pop accounts
(setq mail-sources
	'((pop :server "pop.psq.com" :user "bijan@psq.com" :password "XXXXXXX")
	  (pop :server "mail.crasseux.com" :user "trustno1@crasseux.com" :password "XXXXXXXX")))

;choose how to handle mail once it's here
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
        '((nnml "private")))

;split the mail depending on where it is addressed to
(setq nnmail-split-methods
        '(("psq" "To: bijan@psq.com")
	("crasseux" "To: trustno1@crasseux.com")
	("general" "")))  ;catch-all so that mail doesn't disappear :)

;send using my ISP's smtp server
(setq message-send-mail-function `smtpmail-send-it
      send-mail-function `smtpmail-send-it
      smtpmail-smtp-server "relais.videotron.ca"
      smtpmail-debug-info t)

Hope that helps,
