Like millions of people around the world I have used the Outlook Express as my news reader, without any hassles or fear. I have of late discovered the vast array of goodies within Emacs (Particularly the Windows version) .I have also stumbled on Gnus as another news reader application. I am keen to explore the possibilities and capabilities of Gnus, but am rather limited in my expertise in making the transition. Are there any tried and tested routine to achieve a smooth setup? Many many thanks for all and any pointers. Bijan
