using gnus in Windows

[Miguel Frasson]

Hi.

What is necessary to have a working gnus in GNU emacs if I use windows?

at home...
(emacs-version) --> "GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of
2004-01-04 on CASA" 

[]'s

Miguel.

Mainly a correct .gnus :-). The only platform dependent thing in my
.gnus is the mail setup. I use pop on windows and postfix on
Linux. If your mail provider requires authentication you will also
need a newer version of sendmail.el which supports it. I copied mine
from cvs. You could also switch to cvs emacs which has the correct
version.

It's quite easy. Get the stable version from <http://www.gnus.org/> or
if you are a bad boy take a nightly snapshot from
<ftp://ftp.kreonet.re.kr/pub/tools/emacs/gnus/snapshots/> and untar the
archive. Then call `make.bat':

make.bat c:\emacs\bin

(or your directory where Emacs binaries are installed)

Then add to your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path "c:/your-path-to/gnus/lisp")
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "c:/your-path-to/gnus/texi/")

And now start customizing Gnus. A _very_ good resource for configuration
files is Zonix' homepage: <http://www.zonix.de/div/el/gnus.html>
