Web Archive
-----------

   Some mailing lists only have archives on Web servers, such as
`http://www.egroups.com/' and `http://www.mail-archive.com/'.  It has a
quite regular and nice interface, and it's possible to get the
information Gnus needs to keep groups updated.

   The easiest way to get started with `nnwarchive' is to say something
like the following in the group buffer: `M-x
gnus-group-make-warchive-group <RET> an_egroup <RET> egroups <RET>
www.egroups.com <RET> your@email.address <RET>'.  (Substitute the
AN_EGROUP with the mailing list you subscribed, the YOUR@EMAIL.ADDRESS
with your email address.), or to browse the back end by `B nnwarchive
<RET> mail-archive <RET>'.

   The following `nnwarchive' variables can be altered:

`nnwarchive-directory'
     The directory where `nnwarchive' stores its files.  The default is
     `~/News/warchive/'.

`nnwarchive-login'
     The account name on the web server.

`nnwarchive-passwd'
     The password for your account on the web server.
