-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I like to understand how things work. My Gnus works perfectly now, but I still do not understand how it can work. You might file the description of my .emacs and .gnus files at http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/emacs.php. 1. I am personally mixing nnml and nnmail. It looks like I am only using nnml, because == (setq nnmail-spool-file "/var/mail/merciadriluca") == seems to do no effect, as I do not even have a `merciadriluca' directory in /var/mail/. 2. What's the interest of gnus-select-method? Is it the `primary' method? I think so, but then, what is the interest of defining a secondary method? What is the difference in their order? I define == (setq gnus-select-method '((nntp "news.stuff.com"))) (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml ""))) == but I do not know what they do exactly. 3. If I define == (setq message-directory "~/.Mail/") (setq nnml-directory "~/Mail/") == what will be the difference between both concepts? 4. To me, == (setq mail-sources (list '(directory :path "~/Mail/" :suffix "" ) ) ) == simply tells Gnus to fetch e-mails at ~/Mail/: it tells it `okay, messages are there. There is a MUA which brings them there, and do not try to understand it further.' Am I right? 5. Is there an interesting in defining iso-8859-15 as a charset, such as in == (defun mm-read-charset (prompt) "Return a charset." 'iso-8859-15) (setq gnus-default-posting-charset (quote iso-8859-15)) == ? 6. I use == (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it); For message-mode (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it); ditto (setq send-mail-command 'smtpmail-send-it); For mail-mode (Rmail) == but why do I need the three ones to make the whole stuff work? 7. What's the interest of `my-signature' in == (setq message-signature 'my-signature) (setq gnus-signature-separator '("^-- $")) == ? 8. I set == (setq nntp-authinfo-file ".someauthfile.gpg") (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials ".someauthfile.gpg") == but what's the difference between them? 9. Providing that the whole stuff works as it is, what is the scheme which is done when I want to fetch e-mails, or when I want to send an e-mail, both through Gnus? Thanks. - -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.
