Thank you. This is a good list of Gnus terms that may sound confusing for new Gnus users. > There are a number of step-by-step introductory guides around and all > of them feel necessary to give a few definitions, which are not so > well explained in the Gnus manual.

I will look at the tutorial on the wiki and see how it builds a basic body of Gnus knowledge. My gut feeling is that the Gnus manual has *everything* but it is written more like a reference and not really as a tutorial. Maybe it would be worth writing an accompanying manual, i.e. something called `gnus-tutorial.info', that we can point new users to :-) _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
