GNU Info (gnus)Example SetupExample Setup ------------- If you don't want to read this manual, and you have a fairly standard setup, you may be able to use something like the following as your `.gnus.el' file to get started. ;;; Define how Gnus is to fetch news. We do this over NNTP ;;; from your ISP's server. (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.your-isp.com")) ;;; Define how Gnus is to read your mail. We read mail from ;;; your ISP's POP server. (setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.your-isp.com"))) ;;; Say how Gnus is to store the mail. We use nnml groups. (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) ;;; Make Gnus into an offline newsreader. (gnus-agentize) That should be it, basically. Put that in your `~/.gnus.el' file, edit to suit your needs, start up PPP (or whatever), and type `M-x gnus'. If this is the first time you've run Gnus, you will be subscribed automatically to a few default newsgroups. You'll probably want to subscribe to more groups, and to do that, you have to query the NNTP server for a complete list of groups with the `A A' command. This usually takes quite a while, but you only have to do it once. After reading and parsing a while, you'll be presented with a list of groups. Subscribe to the ones you want to read with the `u' command. `l' to make all the killed groups disappear after you've subscribe to all the groups you want to read. (`A k' will bring back all the killed groups.) You can now read the groups at once, or you can download the articles with the `J s' command. And then read the rest of this manual to find out which of the other gazillion things you want to customize. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
