Title: Gnus
Author: Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
Abstract: A versatile News Reader for Emacs.
 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. 
 is 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."
