Many more love it. It is a learning curve there though. To clarify : when you installed gnus in debian (I think you said) that is used with emacs 22 hence the debian repository manager assumed you wanted emacs 22 too. Uninstall both emacs 22 and gnus. Then using update-alternatives (google!) check emacs 23 is your default. With a straightforward email setup with one account you might want to install sendmail. and the gnutls packages. With a more complicated set up you might not even used sendmail and instead use something like msmtp which can use multiple smtp servers - that is probably something for you to read up on at a later date. > > Thanx > M > With Gnus the lines you listed wont work. You need to use the select methods described in the Gnus manual and in numerous locations in google. e,g ,---- | (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "mymail" | (nnimap-stream tls) | (nnimap-address "imap.myhost.net") | (nnimap-authinfo-file "~/.authinfo.gpg") | (nnir-search-engine imap))) `---- It can be frustrating but when the mist clears you will be whooping with joy ;) -- Google Talk : rileyrgdev@googlemail.com http://www.google.com/talk ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) - against HTML email X & vCards / \
