Re: For users not programmers with very little, maybe a smattering of experience, how do you setup gnus for reading email?...

[dkcombs@panix.com (David Combs)]

Myself, I do not use gnus.  I don't even know its benefits.

What I do use is TRN4, and I can't imagine what features or
whatever I'd want to make it better.  Nor can I imagine a
better newsreader. 

Please, is there someone there who has used trn4 more than
once or twice?  

If so, could that person tell me why gnus is so superior?

That'd be really nice.


And for mail I use mutt.  Works for me.

What's nice about each is they don't require a windowing
and mouse system, but need only essentially what
vi needs.

(emacs is of course wonderful indeed.  I, like probably everyone
else here, "live in" emacs, hardly having to ^Z or go to some
other window (emacs-term: frame) dtterm.  Heck, I'll keep
up an emacs for a *long* time.  But still, it's trn4 and mutt
for me -- so far).

Thanks!
