I have decided to try out gnus again. In some way or another I got so
far that I can read my old mail files and I am composing this mail
using gnus.
The documentation is not always very clear to me. I have a
dialup-connection and in the past I used pine and mutt, fetchmail,
procmail and exim to get and read my mail and slrn(pull) for news.
I use procmail to sort my mail in to different files in ~/mail e.g.
python debian ruby ocaml latex postgres wxpython clug
I know I can sort the mail with gnus - but will try that later. I
first want to get gnus working to get the feel of it.
Now my questions and request:
1. How do I configure gnus to read the result of slrnpull?
2. I suppose I can get around without slrnpull when using gnus, but
how do I handle the situation where I am offline and want to read
mail or news?
3. How do I handle aliases and distribution lists when I use
gnus as my default mail client?
4 Is there any interaction available with a database like lbdbq like
Mutt?
5. What is the difference between semi-gnus and gnus?
6. My request: I would appreciate examples of the .gnus-file. I could
not find any in the documentation.
Regards.
