Re: Standard way to use Gnus?
David Masterson dsmaster...@gmail.com writes: I'm sure everyone has there own preferences on how to use Gnus -- that's the essense of Emacs, after all. However, it's always instructive to learn from others and find new methods of using such a powerful tool. I've been around Emacs Gnus for more 30 years (yes, I believe I used GNUS when it was written for TECO/Emacs), but I was never an expert in its usage. I still tend to just basically C-n Space through the Summary buffer to read what I'm interested in and never really sat down to figure out the more advanced tools in Gnus. I'm now a little more curious. The Gnus manual in Emacs is written as a reference manual and covers a lot of complicated topics, but not in a manner of taking the novice to an expert level step by step. I'm looking for more on why each of the pieces of Gnus exist and examples of why I might want to use them. Is there such a manual around somewhere? In a word, no! I have found that the best way to learn is to look at the configuration used by others and see what use they make of Gnus' amazing flexibility. What kind of use are you curious about?

Hi Harry, From the Manual | 2.10 Mail Aliases| | | | The message-mail-alias-type variable controls what type of mail alias | | expansion to use. Currently two forms are supported: mailabbrev and | | ecomplete. If this variable is nil, no mail alias expansion will be | | performed.| | | | mailabbrev works by parsing the `/etc/mailrc' and `~/.mailrc' | | files. These files look like: | | | | | | | | alias lmi Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen la...@ifi.uio.no| | alias ding d...@ifi.uio.no (ding mailing list) | | | | After adding lines like this to your `~/.mailrc' file, you should be able | | to just write `lmi' in the To or Cc (and so on) headers and press SPC to | | expand the alias. | | | | No expansion will be performed upon sending of the message--all | | expansions have to be done explicitly.| | | | If you're using ecomplete, all addresses from To and Cc headers will | | automatically be put into the `~/.ecompleterc' file. When you enter text | | in the To and Cc headers, ecomplete will check out the values stored | | there and electrically say what completions are possible. To choose one | | of these completions, use the M-n command to move down to the list. Use | | M-n and M-p to move down and up the list, and RET to choose a completion. | \===/ Of course, bbdb has it's own way of dealing with mail aliases. hth Glyn ___ info-gnus-english mailing list info-gnus-english@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english

Some you will have to start up from your ~/.xemacs/init.el file, the XEmacs equivalent of ~/.emacs C-h i will get you into the info reader and you can usually find the code for starting your desired package by reading the relevant entry.
