Gnus is a flexible message reader running under GNU Emacs. It supports
|
|
|
|
|
reading and composing both news and mail. In addition, it is able to
|
|
|
|
|
use a number of web-based sources as inputs for its groups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main Gnus goal is to provide the user with an efficient and
|
|
|
|
|
extensible interface towards dealing with large numbers of messages,
|
|
|
|
|
no matter the form they may have or wherever they may come from.

Major Gnus milestones are named like hurricanes, only backwards, with an
|
|
|
|
|
odd pronounceable word the first letter of which advances toward the

|
|
|
beginning of the alphabet.

T-Gnus (gnu with T-Shirt) is a fork of Oort Gnus that uses SEMI for its MIME
|
|
|
|
|
support rather than the MIME stuff built into regular Gnus. It's most
|
|
|
|
|
important feechur is the printing of an annoyingly long User-agent:

|
header so that everyone can tell you are running an obscure Gnus variant.
