* Install
|
|
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
|
|
add =gnus= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
* Basic Concepts
|
|
|
|
Gnus is a news reading application. The Gnus terminology can be confusing for
|
|
new users so the basics are listed here:
|
|
|
|
- Group :: A Newsgroup but can also be a RSS Feed or a mail directory
|
|
- Topic :: Newsgroups can be assigned to topics which will be used to structure
|
|
the Group Buffer if Topic Mode is enabled(default).
|
|
|
|
* Adding news sources
|
|
|
|
Adding news sources can be done in your =.spacemacs= file by adding the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
;; Get email, and store in nnml
|
|
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
|
|
'(
|
|
(nntp "gmane"
|
|
(nntp-address "news.gmane.org"))
|
|
(nntp "news.eternal-september.org")
|
|
(nntp "nntp.aioe.org")
|
|
(nntp "news.gwene.org")
|
|
))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
For adding RSS Feeds please see the [[#keybindings][keybindings section]].
|
|
|
|
* Configuring gmail
|
|
|
|
To configure Gnus with gmail support you can add the following to your
|
|
=.spacemacs= file.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
;; Get email, and store in nnml
|
|
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
|
|
'(
|
|
(nnimap "gmail"
|
|
(nnimap-address
|
|
"imap.gmail.com")
|
|
(nnimap-server-port 993)
|
|
(nnimap-stream ssl))
|
|
))
|
|
|
|
;; Send email via Gmail:
|
|
(setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it
|
|
smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
|
|
|
|
;; Archive outgoing email in Sent folder on imap.gmail.com:
|
|
(setq gnus-message-archive-method '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com")
|
|
gnus-message-archive-group "[Gmail]/Sent Mail")
|
|
|
|
;; set return email address based on incoming email address
|
|
(setq gnus-posting-styles
|
|
'(((header "to" "address@outlook.com")
|
|
(address "address@outlook.com"))
|
|
((header "to" "address@gmail.com")
|
|
(address "address@gmail.com"))))
|
|
|
|
;; store email in ~/gmail directory
|
|
(setq nnml-directory "~/gmail")
|
|
(setq message-directory "~/gmail")
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
Authentication for your gmail account is best stored in an =authinfo= or
|
|
=authinfo.pgp= file. It must be of the form:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
|
|
machine smtp.gmail.com login name@gmail.com password SUPER_SECRET_PASS
|
|
machine imap.gmail.com login name@gmail.com port 993 password SUPER_SECRET_PASS
|
|
#+END_EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
If you use two-step verification the password has to be an [[https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en][application specific
|
|
password]].
|
|
|
|
* Org MIME in Org layer
|
|
|
|
It is possible to send beautiful HTML emails using org mode.
|
|
|
|
Pressing ~SPC m e m~ in a message buffer will convert the current message
|
|
from org mode to html. An org mode buffer can be sent via html email by pressing
|
|
~SPC m e m~ in any org mode buffer.
|
|
|
|
* Keybindings
|
|
|
|
Gnus has very modal default keybindings.
|
|
Please see the [[http://www.gnus.org/manual.html][manual]] for a complete list.
|
|
|
|
Basic and Spacemacs specific keybindings can be found in the following table.
