Thanks to everyone who helped me to get gnus going. My first question relates to the problem I had in sending the second one to the gnu.emacs.gnus newsgroup: Gnus refused to send it complaining about a void nntp-soup-request variable or something like that. I could not get gnus to work with slrnpull so I installed leafnode. I can read the newsgroups, but not post to them. I saw something in the documentation about gateways and changed my .gnus to contain the following lines from an example in the documentation:
-------------------------------------- (setq gnus-post-method '(nngateway "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (nngateway-header-transformation nngateway-mail2news-header-transformation))) --------------------------------------- But that did not make any difference to the problem. How do I configure gnus and leafnode to send messages to a newsgroup? My second question - which I tried to send to the newsgroup but failed to do so: I have started using gnus a few days ago for both newsgroups (with leafnode) and mail. I have in my .gnus-file : ----------------- (setq nnmail-expiry-wait-function #'(lambda (group) (cond ((string= group "Debian") 180) ((string= group "Lug") 61) ((string= group "Gedagte") 61) ((string= group "Ander") 180) ((string= group "Sekuriteit") 31) (t 7)))) -------------------------------- So the articles/mail marked as read or ready for expiry are still there. But how do I get them to show up in the summary when needed? Regards. Johann -- J.H. Spies - Tel. 082 782 0336.
