It's various tools for grouping, filtering, scoring= , and such like make it possible to handle a flood of incoming messages wit= hout being overwhelmed or losing focus on what is interesting to you. The b= ackend system (e.g., nnimap, nnatom, etc.) allows you to integrate many, di= verse streams of messages. E.g., e-mails, rss/atom feeds, and even things l= ike new files in local directories. There is certainly room for improvement. The docs mention the need for more= advanced algorithms to be available for the scoring. This would, in theory= , make it practical for gnus to automatically learn your reading interests. --=20 Christopher Howard
