Where do I find NoGnus? Is that just the development version of gnus downloaded from the git repo? Is that necessary if I'm already using the a developmental bzr version of Emacs (24.0.50.1) which comes with Gnus v5.13? > Keep at it. Gnus is a bugger to configure.

It's a nice idea, but when config time runs over multiple hours for a mail reader, it's going to take months of super-efficiency to compensate for the lost time. Cheers, Tyler
