I have succeeded in setting up gnus like so in my ~/.emacs file:
(setq gnus-select-method '(nnmh "")) ; use MH method to layout mail
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods nil) ; No news hanndlig; only mail.
(setq nnmail-spool-file "/var/spool/mail/debian") ; my mailing list spool
(setq nnmail-split-methods '(("Debian" ""))) ;put new mail into ~/mail/Debian/
(require 'gnus)
(require 'nnmh)
Now I have to figure out how to delete (expire) most articles after they
are read, except for the few that I check every day (so it will be used
like a regular (but threaded) mail reader).
And will mh-e renumbering the folder mess up gnus' idea of what is read?
Any suggestions?
