-Subject: So you want to use the new Gnus
-Message-ID: <lars-doc1@eyesore.no>
-
-Actually, since you are reading this, chances are you are already
-using the new Gnus. Congratulations.
-
-This entire newsgroup you are reading is, in fact, no real newsgroup
-at all, in the traditional sense. It is an example of one of the
-"foreign" select methods that Gnus may use.
-
-The text you are now reading is stored in the "etc" directory with the
-rest of the Emacs sources. You are using the "nndoc" backend for
-accessing it. Scary, isn't it?
-
-This isn't the real documentation. `M-x info', `m gnus <RET>' to read
-that. This "newsgroup" is intended as a kinder, gentler way of getting
-people started.
-
-Gnus is a rewrite of GNUS 4.1, written by Masanobu Umeda. The rewrite
-was done by moi, yours truly, your humble servant, Lars Magne
-Ingebrigtsen. If you have a WWW browser, you can investigate to your
-heart's delight at <URL:http://www.gnus.org/> and
-<URL:http://quimby.gnus.org/lmi/>.

-Subject: Starting up
-Message-ID: <lars-doc2@eyesore.no>
-
-If you are having problems with Gnus not finding your server, you have
-to set `gnus-select-method'. A "method" is a way of specifying *how*
-the news is to be found, and from *where*.
-
-Say you want to read news from you local, friendly nntp server
-"news.my.local.server".
-
-(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.my.local.server"))
-
-Quite easy, huh?
-
-From the news spool:
-
-(setq gnus-select-method '(nnspool ""))
-
-From your mh-e spool:
-
-(setq gnus-select-method '(nnmh ""))
-
-There's a whole bunch of other methods for reading mail and news, see
-the "Foreign groups" article for that.

-Subject: Where are all the groups, then?
-Message-ID: <lars-doc3@eyesore.no>
-
-If this is the first time you have used a newsreader, you won't have a
-.newsrc file. This means that Gnus will think that all the newsgroups
-on the server are "new", and kill them all.
-
-If you have a .newsrc file, the new groups will be processed with the
-function in the `gnus-subscribe-newsgroup-method' variable, which is
-`gnus-subscribe-zombies' by default.
-
-This means that all the groups have been made into "zombies" - not
-quite dead, but not exactly alive, either.
-
-Jump back to the *Group* buffer, and type `A z' to list all the zombie
-groups. Look though the list, and subscribe to the groups you want to
-read by pressing `u' on the one you think look interesting.
-
-If all the groups have been killed, type `A k' to list all the killed
-groups. Subscribe to them the same way.
-
-When you are satisfied, press `S z' to kill all the zombie groups.
-
-Now you should have a nice list of all groups you are interested in.
-
-(If you later want to subscribe to more groups, press `A k' to
-list all the kill groups, and repeat. You can also type `U' and be
-prompted for groups to subscribe to.)

-Subject: I want to read my mail!
-Message-ID: <lars-doc4@eyesore.no>
-
-Yes, Virginia, you can read mail with Gnus.
-
-First you have to decide which mail backend you want to use. You have
-nnml, which is a one-file-one-mail backend, which is quite nice, but
-apt to make your systems administrator go crazy and come after you
-with a shotgun.
-
-nnmbox uses a Unix mail box to store mail. Nice, but slow.
-
-nnmh uses mh-e folders, which is also a one-file-one-mail thingie, but
-slower than nnml. (It doesn't support NOV files.)
-
-So if you want to go with nnmbox, you can simply say:
-
-(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnmbox "")))
-
-(The same for the other methods, kind of.)
-
-You should also set `nnmail-split-methods' to something sensible:
-
-(setq nnmail-split-methods
- '(("mail.junk" "From:.*Lars")
- ("mail.misc "")))
-
-This will put all mail from me in you junk mail group, and the rest in
-"mail.misc".
-
-These groups will be subscribe the same way as the normal groups, so
-you will probably find them among the zombie groups after you set
-these variables and re-start Gnus.

-Subject: Foreign newsgroups
-Message-ID: <lars-doc5@eyesore.no>
-
-These are groups that do not come from `gnus-select-method'.
-
-Say you want to read "alt.furniture.couches" from "news.funet.fi". You
-can then either type `B news.funet.fi <RET>' to browse that server and
-subscribe to that group, or you can type
-`G m alt.furniture.couches<RET>nntp<RET>news.funet.fi<RET>', if you
-like to type a lot.
-
-If you want to read a directory as a newsgroup, you can create an
-nndir group, much the same way. There's a shorthand for that,
-though. If, for instance, you want to read the (ding) list archives,
-you could type `G d /ftp <RET>'.
-
-There's lots more to know about foreign groups, but you have to read
-the info pages to find out more.

-Subject: Low level changes in GNUS, or, Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
-Message-ID: <lars-doc6@eyesore.no>
-
-Gnus really isn't GNUS, even though it looks like it. If you scrape
-the surface, you'll find that most things have changed.
-
-This means that old code that relies on GNUS internals will fail.
-
-In particular, `gnus-newsrc-hashtb', `gnus-newsrc-assoc',
-`gnus-killed-list', the `nntp-header-' macros and the display formats
-have all changed. If you have some code lying around that depend on
-these, or change these, you'll have to re-write your code.
-
-Old hilit19 code does not work at all. In fact, you should probably
-remove all hilit code from all the Gnus hooks
-(`gnus-group-prepare-hook', `gnus-summary-prepare-hook' and
-`gnus-summary-article-hook'). (Well, at the very least the first
-two.) Gnus provides various integrated functions for highlighting,
-which are both faster and more accurated.
-
-There is absolutely no chance, whatsoever, of getting Gnus to work
-with Emacs 18. It won't even work on Emacsen older than Emacs
-20.7/XEmacs 21.1. Upgrade your Emacs or die.

-Subject: How do I re-scan my mail groups?
-Message-ID: <lars-doc8@eyesore.no>
-
-Reading the active file from the nntp server is a drag.
-
-Just press `M-g' on the mail groups, and they will be re-scanned.
-
-You can also re-scan all the mail groups by putting them on level 1
-(`S l 1'), and saying `1 g' to re-scan all level 1 groups.

-Subject: How do I set up virtual newsgroups?
-Message-ID: <lars-doc9@eyesore.no>
-
-Virtual newsgroups are collections of other newsgroups. Why people
-want this is beyond me, but here goes:
-
-Create the group by saying
-
-`G m my.virtual.newsgroup<RET>nnvirtual<RET>^rec\.aquaria\.*<RET>'
-
-This will create the group "nnvirtual:my.virtual.newsgroup", which
-will collect all articles from all the groups in the "rec.aquaria"
-hierarchy.
-
-If you want to edit the regular expression, just type `M-e' on the
-group line.
-
-Note that all the groups that are part of the virtual group have to be
-alive. This means that the cannot, absolutely not, be zombie or
-killed. They can be unsubscribed; that's no problem.
-
-You can combine groups from different servers in the same virtual
-newsgroup, something that may actually be useful. Say you have the
-group "comp.headers" on the server "news.server.no" and the same group
-on "news.server.edu". If people have posted articles with Distribution
-headers that stop propagation of their articles, combining these two
-newsgroups into one virtual newsgroup should give you a better view of
-what's going on.
-
-One caveat, though: The virtual group article numbers from the first
-source group (group A) will always be lower than the article numbers
-from the second (group B). This means that Gnus will believe that
-articles from group A are older than articles from group B. Threading
-will lessen these problems, but it might be a good idea to sort the
-threads over the date of the articles to get a correct feel for the
-flow of the groups:
-
-(setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date))
-
-If you only want this in virtual groups, you could say something along
-the lines of:
-
-(setq gnus-select-group-hook
- (lambda ()
- (if (eq 'nnvirtual (car (gnus-find-method-for-group
- gnus-newsgroup-name)))
- (progn
- (make-local-variable 'gnus-thread-sort-functions)
- (setq gnus-thread-sort-functions '(gnus-thread-sort-by-date))))))

-
-If you want to report a bug, please type `M-x gnus-bug'. This will
-give me a precise overview of your Gnus and Emacs version numbers,
-along with a look at all Gnus variables you have changed.
-
-Du not expect a reply back, but your bug should be fixed in the next
-version. If the bug persists, please re-submit your bug report.
-
-When a bug occurs, I need a recipe for how to trigger the bug. You
-have to tell me exactly what you do to uncover the bug, and you should
-(setq debug-on-error t) and send me the backtrace along with the bug
-report.
-
-If I am not able to reproduce the bug, I won't be able to fix it.
-
-I would, of course, prefer that you locate the bug, fix it, and mail
-me the patches, but one can't have everything.
-
-If you have any questions on usage, the "ding@gnus.org" mailing list
-is where to post the questions.
