Gnus is a mailreader that comes with Emacs and XEmacs. I usually start my Gnus session with 'emacs -f gnus' or 'xemacs -f gnus'. See http://www.gnus.org/ for more info about Gnus. Basically if you get either one of the emacsen you get everything that's needed for Gnus too.
Gnus has lot's of features and options but the news reading with it can be really simple too. I usually use space, q and the arrow keys and get along just fine. I hope this helps. PS. The current version of gnus is spelled as Gnus. An older version of gnus that came with older emacsen was called GNUS. The name change happened when a new maintainer started his work making GNUS better. // Heikki -- Heikki Vatiainen * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tampere University of Technology * Tampere, Finland -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
