Gnus is a pain in the freckle to set up, but once you have it going it can't be beat. Assuming of course you are already an Emacs user. If you do give Gnus another go, make sure you try using bbdb (big brother database) with it. - Dave -- http://www.object-craft.com.au ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

I'm very curious..... I just added you to my bbdb by hitting `:' in the summary buffer. Here is what your entry looks like, new. Shyamal Prasad net: shyamal.prasad@ericsson.com creation-date: 07 Jan 2003 timestamp: 07 Jan 2003 notes: He asked about the BBDB so I gave him a quick example. If I need to find you, I can then do it with many global searches (Here are some examples) First, do M-x bbdb to get to the *BBDB* buffer. Now, the following 4 searches across the BBDB (kicked off by `b') will find at least you. 1) shy 2) sad 3) eric 4) asked Being able to quickly search across the entire kit-n-kaboodle is quite nice. Now, what if I narrow my search to the notes field? `S o' prompts me for what type of "note" field to search and then I get hits across the entire kit-n-kaboodle, but on a particular notes field. Entering and maintaining the BBDB is also quite nice. Window configurations so the BBDB follows your news/mail reading is quite nice ... is quite nice. -- Galen Boyer ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
