Re: [Gnus] Fetch extra categories?

[Jambunathan K <kjambunathan@gmail.com>]

Doesn't answer your question.  But this is what I do to read mailing
lists.

You can do

    M-x gnus
    ^  (This will you put you in a server buffer)
    a (You can add nntp and news.gmane.org)
    
    Click on that server.  You will see various <whatever you call that>
    listed.  (You will see a mix of gmane and gwene things)

    You can press on u one of those to get the respective mail boxes.

The configuration does get saved but not in .emacs.
