Hello! I tried gnus, recommended by several people (thanks to all who responded!), and it froze my emacs20. Here's what I wrote to John Hasler, one of the people trying to help: --- I installed gnus (gnus_5.8.3-9.deb) on top of Emacs20. I launched emacs, started the tutorial, it seemed to be working. Then, I typed: M-x gnus It loaded backquote, loaded gnus, displayed 'Done', some kind of ascii-art logo in the Emacs window, the title-bar changed to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', and Emacs stopped working. The menus (Buffers, Tools and the like) stopped responding. I tried to close the window with the close button (under X), but it did not close. I had to switch to the terminal window and hit Ctrl-C. Started emacs again, and tried Tools->Read news and Read mail. Both loaded backquote and gnus, and both froze the same way as described above.
To tell you the truth, I have not read any of the documentation yet, except for the first few pages of the tutorial, but this doesn't look much good. Are there any switches that could help me determine what's going on and why emacs freezes? --- Kofa Homepage at http://www.math.bme.hu/~kofa - For PGP public key: send mail with the subject PGP Public Key Request or finger [EMAIL PROTECTED]
