 longtitle="A versatile News Reader for Emacs." \
 description="This is by far the most powerful and extensible news \
 reader that I am aware of.  It will let you look at just about \
 anything as if it were a newsgroup.  You can read mail with it, you \
 can browse directories with it, you can ftp with it---you can even \
 read news with it! It handles single file groups, MH format folders, \
 mbox files, digests, knows about POP, etc. It can split incoming mail \
 ala procmail. \
 \
 This version of gnus handles MIME natively. It adds offline reading\
 capability with gnus-agent. It is not compatible with older versions\
 of TM (since a large number of hooks and variables have changed to\
 allow that). NOTE: Please do not use tm-gnus with  this version.\
 \
 Instead of boring old KILL files, it has an adaptive multifaceted \
 scoring mechanism -- you add or reduce the score of the article based \
 on rules, and a component of the score comes in from your past \
 behaviour -- for example, articles similar to ones you read and saved \
 get higher scores. This adaptive mechanism is one fo the most \
 interesting part of Gnus. \
 \
 Gnus tries to empower people who read news the same way Emacs \
 empowers people who edit text.  Gnus sets no limits to what the user \
 should be allowed to do.  Users are encouraged to extend Gnus to make \
 it behave like they want it to behave.  A program should not control \
 people; people should be empowered to do what they want by using (or \
 abusing) the program.This comes by default with XEmacs." \
