Helm seems to treat "!" specially in pattern matching, so having a ! in the pattern string when traversing directories is problematic. This change fixes #2737, because as far as I can tell "+" has no special meaning in a helm pattern. Of course, we can choose a different character, but I'm fond of "+" as representing "more layers here". |

(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(gnus))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:
;; 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")
))For adding RSS Feeds please see the keybindings section.
Configuring gmail
To configure Gnus with gmail support you can add the following to your
.spacemacs file.
;; 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")
Authentication for your gmail account is best stored in an authinfo or
authinfo.pgp file. It must be of the form:
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_PASSIf you use two-step verification the password has to be an application specific password.
Org MIME integration
It is possible to send beautiful HTML emails using org mode.
Pressing SPC m o in a message buffer will convert the current message
from org mode to html. A org mode buffer can be sent via html email by pressing
SPC m h in any org mode buffer.
