I would like to thank Anand Babu ab@gnu.org.in mailto:ab@gnu.org.in who shared his .emacs and .gnus.el file with me, that got me started with reading and sending mail with gnus almost immediately. Thanks to Annamalai Gurusamiannamalai.gurusami@email.masconit.com mailto:annamalai.gurusami@email.masconit.com for sharing his .gnus.el file
Those interested in getting started with gnus may visit http://my.gnus.org

,----[ Frederick Noronha (FN) fred@bytesforall.org ] | Could someone share with me the [gnus config] file please? `----
It would be nice if Anand Babu could post the .emacs and .gnus.el to http://gnu.org.in . Gnus compelents mailing lists with message threading and other features backed with the full power of emacs.
Links may be added to tools that aid in giving attribution to authors: boxquote.el at http://www.davep.org/emacs/boxquote.el supercite.el at http://www.avtokrator.org/~cwynne/lisp/supercite.el
An Emacs directory could be created in the home directory to keep the elisp files, and the following lines could be added to .emacs file:
(setq load-path (cons "~/Emacs" load-path)) (require 'boxquote) (require 'supercite)
Boxquote style of attribution has been followed in this post. Supercite helps with clean and neat attribution in mails. Supercite Version 3.1 Manual is available at:
http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/RZ/software/emacs/sc/sc_1.html http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/emacs/gnus_toc.html
To make things easier, anyone using Supercite may please share the configuration block for using Supercite.
Regards, Ramanraj.
