I'm replying with gmail, and I am afraid I will give up the project to use Gnus. From yesterday evening, suddenly I have on my two computers an error message with gnus: 'smtp-server' not defined. I've of course tried to solve this new problem, with help of archives of mailing lists given by Google, all my tentative are at the moment unsuccessful... It's both boring and irritating. The least that I expect from an email client is to work correctly. Gnus worked, for sending and receiving emails, and suddenly without clear reason, it does not work no more... It is not stable because I have not changed .gnus.el ... I am sorry to have bothered you for nothing, but I am tired and disappointed by emailing via emacs. I loose more time in trying to configure gnus for my gmail account than in reading and replying to my emails... I will going to try to improve my use of org-mode, but Gnus is not made for me... Best wishes, Jo.
