You can get that on the gnu.emacs.help newsgroup. (on gmane: gmane.emacs.help) But rmail is not in use so much anymore.... You should investigate the mail/news reader bundled with emacs23 called `gnus'. It is under lively development currently. But a newer version is available with emacs24. gnus is a very capable reader and handles gmail well thru imap. You can get lots of expert help at `gnu.emacs.gnus' newsgroup. Or on gmane: gmane.emacs.gnus.users You didn't mention what web style account you have. You might get better advice if you were post more information concerning what exactly you want to do. For information on gnus. If you have texinfo installed you should be able to read all about it by doing this in emacs: C-h i <ENTER> (brings up info manuals) m <ENTER> emacs <ENTER> g <ENTER> gnus <ENTER> Or if that seems inadequate or you do not like reading texinfo (info) manuals, you can access the gnus manual online at: http://www.gnus.org/manual.html Far as which format to use there... you might like `monolithic HTML' Which displays the manual in one very long page. That makes page searching very easy and you can search the entire manual with your browsers (C-f on most browsers) page search functions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
