How about something along these lines:

  ; No primary server:
  (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil ""))

  ; Get email, and store in nnml:
  (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))


  Best regards,

Adam

The following may speed-up things

  (setq gnus-nntp-servernil
gnus-read-active-file   nil
gnus-save-newsrc-file   nil
gnus-read-newsrc-file   nil
gnus-check-new-newsgroups   nil
gnus-save-killed-list   nil)

Note that you can start gnus withM-x gnus-no-server
to skip the news checking part. You can then enter your mail group.
Or, even faster, bind the command (gnus-fetch-group "name-of-my-mail-group")
to some key. This will bring you directly to your mail group, starting
gnus if necessary.

Hi all.

I just picked up gnus to do my email, and tried to make it receive email
only. How do I set up my .gnus to skip the news checking part and go
directly to dealing with email?

Thanks

How to ignore "Reply-To"?

[Teemu Likonen]

How can I ignore Reply-To header when replying or (very-)wide-replying
to a mail? Sometimes there's a need to overrule the Reply-To that was
set by a mailing list software.

This is emacs, an editor!  
Just edit out whatever header you want to edit out.

Well, the Gnus default is sane when you're in a mailing list group in
that you typically reply to the list.  That said, you could tinker
with

--8<---cut here---start->8---
`broken-reply-to'
 Elements like `(broken-reply-to . t)' signals that `Reply-To'
 headers in this group are to be ignored, and for the header to be
 hidden if `reply-to' is part of `gnus-boring-article-headers'.
 This can be useful if you're reading a mailing list group where
 the listserv has inserted `Reply-To' headers that point back to
 the listserv itself.  That is broken behavior.  So there!
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

in Group Parameters documentation in the manual.

Since the modification you wanted is infrequent, it's best to simply
edit the reply-to.

OK, thanks. Well, I guess this means that if I occasionally want to
reply privately to somebody on a mailing list I need to copy and paste
person's address to "To" field. All the reply options (normal, wide and
very wide) just reply to the list address and nobody else.

Did you really try to set `broken-reply-to'?  When I use r/R on a
message in the group gmane.comp.tex.german, where I have set
(broken-reply-to . t) in `gnus-parameters', the article goes to the
address in the To field and the list address (from Reply-To) is
ignored.

Bye, Reiner.

Yes I did, and thanks Sivaram for the tip. It can be useful but it's not
quite optimal for me.

In some mailing lists it's a convention that messages are posted always
to the list only (not "wide reply"). In such situations the list
software usually adds automatic "Reply-To: ". For me it's fine,
and I don't want to set broken-reply-to because then I'd always need to
use wide reply first and then remove all recipients except the mailing
list address. It would be too much manual work in nearly always editing
recipients. (Unless there's another reply command which replies to the
list address only.)

So, it seems that it's generally easier to not set broken-reply-to and
just honor the Reply-To set by the mailing software. In those rare
situations when I need to reply privately outside the list I can just
copy and paste necessary addresses.

Basically I'd like to have three different reply buttons:

  1. Reply to author only (with confirmation whether or not to honor the
 possible Reply-To).
  2. Reply to all people. The original author's address (or at user
 option, the Reply-To field) goes to "To" field and other recipients
 to "Cc" field.
  3. Reply to mailing list address only (the MUA needs to know what the
 address is so it must be configured).

It would be nice to have these three options always available. I used
Mutt previously and found those options handy.

Problem solved (I think)!  Seems to be a problem with my IMAP service
provider (i.e., Gmail).  Checked their Google Groups page and found other
users running into the same problem of late.  The solution often given

I learned by reading the manual (which is rather thorough, if a bit
cryptic at times), searching the Web for things that I found confusing
or unclear, and looking at the Gnus-related pages in the Emacs wiki at
emacswiki.org.

Good places in the manual to start are the "Starting Up" chapter and the
"Getting Mail" chapter (6.3, under "Select Methods").  Reading it gives
you a good handle on how to set up Gnus to read e-mail.
