gnus gnubie

gnus gnubie

[btraven]

I sucessfully downloaded about 5 megs of usenet groupnames into gnus and then
subscribed to this and another group and posted a test that second group. When I tried to
reply to this test posting, emacs hung up in a buffer called unsent....
Can any of use explain what's going on? Is this question even suitable
for gnu.emacs.help? Emacs and gnus are running on w64 and using this
(false) email address.

Thanks,

Ed

Were there any error messages?  Look in the *Messages* buffer.

Thanks, Lars. No I didn't see anything in *Messages* that made sense to
me. On this reply I selected followup and am not sure if this will be
posted to gnu.emacs.help. I am switching between this Emacs and Firefox
webmail and newsguy direct for usenet so it's complicated. Now I find
that I also need gnutls (.exe files and .dll) by Eli and the
accompanying cacert.pem  so that I can
connect to my isp via webmail.. Do all of these go in the same subdir
with emacs.exe, emacsclientw.exe and the rest? Where does the cacert.pem
go? I have the .authinfo in Home with .emacs but don't understand if its
just for gnus or all Emacs apps. If  I break out the gnus stuff from my
.emacs where does the .gnus init file go.

Thanks,

Ed

Sorry; don't know anything about Emacs on Windows.  Hasn't anybody
packaged up a version of Emacs with all the required libraries for
Windows yet?

The .dll files need to be either in PATH or in the same directory as
emacs.exe etc. For the .pem file, you need something like:

(require 'gnutls)
(add-to-list 'gnutls-trustfiles "/path/to/cacert.pem")

Vincent Goulet has made one:
http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/en/emacs/windows/

I haven't used it though.

I used the GNU release and the EzWinPorts stuff.

A few other things are needed to get it working perfectly, such as
the compression programs from Mingw (or equivalent), InfoZip and
GSWin32.

Goulet's release seems to deal with the image libraries but not the
compression programs.
