I have done this, and since the OP was looking for a tutorial to get him started, the most pertinent entry in the gnus manual is probably appendix 10.3: * On Writing Manuals:: Why this is not a beginner's guide.

There is a tutorial available at http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusTutorial Cheers, Tyler -- The contents of this email have been carefully examined by skilled artisans to ensure that only the purest, archival-quality, virus-free bits have been used in its construction.
