Well, it looks like I may be stuck with this. But it leads me to my next
question: can I run gnus remotely from a local machine? Tramp can do
this with a few packages, and I'd like to do it with Gnus. The procedure
would look like this (ideally):

Since smtp is blocked on the local machine, I ssh into my remote server.
I run emacs and gnus from there, but (like emacsclient or tramp) I see
the application and run it on my local machine. Is that possible?

Thanks.
