I think the gnus manual is far from perfect. I am not aware of anyone
that thinks it is. I certainly have never claimed that. It's why most
people use google to get a "quick setup" solution. When its running THEN
the manual is useful because Gnus IS a powerful bit of SW and its far
more than just a "mail reader".
But just for the record : I have not said Gnus is easy to set up. I have
not said the manual is perfect. I have, however, said that vaunting the
features of one MUA over Gnus when one has not even got Gnus working is
somewhat naive and biased. With the power comes the complications I
guess :-;
I can only state that having got Gnus working the way I want its far and
away more powerful than any other solution I have used in all the years
I have used a mail/nntp client.
