+Some mailing lists only have archives on Web servers, such as
+(@file{http://www.egroups.com/}). It has a quite regular and nice
+interface, and it's possible to get the information Gnus needs to keep
+groups updated.
+
+The easiest way to get started with @code{nnwarchive} is to say
+something like the following in the group buffer: @kbd{M-x
+gnus-group-make-nnwarchive-group RET an_egroup RET egroups RET
+www.egroups.com RET your@@email.address RET}.  (Substitute the
+@sc{an_egroup} with the mailing list you subscribed, the
+@sc{your@@email.address} with your email address.)
