GNU Info (gnus)ding Gnus(ding) Gnus ........... New features in Gnus 5.0/5.1: * The look of all buffers can be changed by setting format-like variables (Note: Group Buffer Format and Note: Summary Buffer Format). * Local spool and several NNTP servers can be used at once (Note: Select Methods). * You can combine groups into virtual groups (Note: Virtual Groups). * You can read a number of different mail formats (Note: Getting Mail). All the mail back ends implement a convenient mail expiry scheme (Note: Expiring Mail). * Gnus can use various strategies for gathering threads that have lost their roots (thereby gathering loose sub-threads into one thread) or it can go back and retrieve enough headers to build a complete thread (Note: Customizing Threading). * Killed groups can be displayed in the group buffer, and you can read them as well (Note: Listing Groups). * Gnus can do partial group updates--you do not have to retrieve the entire active file just to check for new articles in a few groups (Note: The Active File). * Gnus implements a sliding scale of subscribedness to groups (Note: Group Levels). * You can score articles according to any number of criteria (Note: Scoring). You can even get Gnus to find out how to score articles for you (Note: Adaptive Scoring). * Gnus maintains a dribble buffer that is auto-saved the normal Emacs manner, so it should be difficult to lose much data on what you have read if your machine should go down (Note: Auto Save). * Gnus now has its own startup file (`.gnus') to avoid cluttering up the `.emacs' file. * You can set the process mark on both groups and articles and perform operations on all the marked items (Note: Process/Prefix). * You can grep through a subset of groups and create a group from the results (Note: Kibozed Groups). * You can list subsets of groups according to, well, anything (Note: Listing Groups). * You can browse foreign servers and subscribe to groups from those servers (Note: Browse Foreign Server). * Gnus can fetch articles, asynchronously, on a second connection to the server (Note: Asynchronous Fetching). * You can cache articles locally (Note: Article Caching). * The uudecode functions have been expanded and generalized (Note: Decoding Articles). * You can still post uuencoded articles, which was a little-known feature of GNUS' past (Note: Uuencoding and Posting). * Fetching parents (and other articles) now actually works without glitches (Note: Finding the Parent). * Gnus can fetch FAQs and group descriptions (Note: Group Information). * Digests (and other files) can be used as the basis for groups (Note: Document Groups). * Articles can be highlighted and customized (Note: Customizing Articles). * URLs and other external references can be buttonized (Note: Article Buttons). * You can do lots of strange stuff with the Gnus window & frame configuration (Note: Windows Configuration). * You can click on buttons instead of using the keyboard (Note: Buttons). automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
