I'm currently using GNUs for email [2 pop3 accounts and gmail], newsgroup r= eading, and rss feed reading too. I've moved from using 'Claws-mail' for se= veral years to GNUs, and I've been using it reasonably successfully for abo= ut a month now. Yes, it is a steep learning curve, but its well worth it, a= nd other folk are very patient and helpful. Its worth persevering for, and = the results are good :) Sharon. > > I would like to learn to better use GNUS at some point. > > > Brady > > The extended version: > > I was using almost exclusively the Gmane website, which was fine as it was > easy to encounter during google searches, but it was not great for emaili= ng > the list.
