It's very nice once it's working and it's fine to get it set up if you're good at that sort of thing or have a few spare weeks. The manual is extremely comprehensive and pretty funny but basically horrifying. The summary buffer containing news/emails will look awful to start off with but it is possible to make it look nice (e.g. the wikipedia screenshot) by configuring gnus-summary-line-format and (if not in a terminal) by using non-ascii arrow characters to represent threads e.g. (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-vertical "=E2=94=82") (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-leaf-with-other "=E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=96=BA ") (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-single-leaf "=E2=95=B0=E2=94=80=E2=96=BA "= )) Dan > > TIA, > Keith Lancaster > klancaster1957@acm.org > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
