+WEBVTT captioned by sachac
+
+NOTE Introduction
+
+00:00:02.620 --> 00:00:04.799
+Hello, my name is Amin Bandali,
+
+00:00:04.800 --> 00:00:06.359
+and today I'd like to talk about
+
+00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.799
+reading and writing emails in GNU Emacs
+
+00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:14.319
+using Gnus specifically.
+
+00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.879
+Gnus has had this sort of reputation
+
+00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:20.599
+of being difficult to approach and configure.
+
+00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.359
+That's understandable
+
+00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:26.319
+because it has many, many options
+
+00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:27.679
+and major and minor modes
+
+00:00:27.680 --> 00:00:30.679
+that interact in different ways with each other.
+
+00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:35.319
+And it also doesn't help that Gnus started originally
+
+00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:36.359
+as a newsreader
+
+00:00:36.360 --> 00:00:38.759
+rather than a mail client.
+
+00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:40.879
+So a lot of the terminology that it uses
+
+00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:42.519
+is also rooted in that,
+
+00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.559
+in reading and writing news.
+
+00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.119
+But nevertheless, with this video and talk,
+
+00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:52.159
+I hope to provide a sort
+
+00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:55.759
+of very quick introduction
+
+00:00:55.760 --> 00:00:57.539
+of starting to use Gnus
+
+00:00:57.540 --> 00:01:00.919
+to read and write email and send it.
+
+00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:02.679
+We will use Gnus' IMAP support,
+
+00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:06.119
+mainly because a lot of people
+
+00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.679
+these days have email accounts
+
+00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.759
+with mail service providers
+
+00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:12.039
+that support IMAP,
+
+00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.319
+which is an open standard.
+
+00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:17.479
+So it's widely available and supported
+
+00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.719
+across many different providers
+
+00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:25.239
+as well as mail clients or mail user agents as well.
+
+NOTE Demo
+
+00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:30.559
+Okay, so let's just jump straight right in.
+
+00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.279
+I will enter this demo directory that I created
+
+00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.919
+for the purposes of this demonstration
+
+00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.999
+and change my home directory to this one
+
+00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:49.839
+so that we can safely experiment with Gnus here.
+
+00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.979
+For this presentation, I've written up
+
+00:01:53.980 --> 00:01:56.839
+a quick initialization file or init file
+
+00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.719
+that I will share afterwards as well
+
+00:01:59.720 --> 00:02:01.639
+to get us going with Gnus.
+
+00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.519
+There's not much to it at the moment.
+
+00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:07.399
+Just set up the package archives and
+
+00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:09.479
+install the keycast package
+
+00:02:09.480 --> 00:02:14.079
+for showing the key presses in the mode line.
+
+00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:15.359
+Yeah, that's about it.
+
+00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.239
+And I'll also define
+
+00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.279
+a little like inline function +emacs.d
+
+00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.079
+that allows me to conveniently write
+
+00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.639
+and have it expanded
+
+00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:29.300
+or refer to files and directories, rather,
+
+00:02:29.301 --> 00:02:30.900
+paths that we could expand,
+
+00:02:30.901 --> 00:02:32.833
+inside my Emacs configuration directory.
+
+00:02:32.834 --> 00:02:37.500
+I also have this eval-last-sexp
+
+00:02:37.501 --> 00:02:41.119
+bound to a global key,
+
+00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:43.279
+so that I will be able to easily
+
+00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:47.519
+use it for this talk.
+
+00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:49.959
+Okay, let's jump right in.
+
+NOTE Don't panic
+
+00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.239
+First things first, don't panic.
+
+00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.267
+And that's actually also the name
+
+00:02:55.268 --> 00:02:58.359
+of the very first node
+
+00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.559
+in the Gnus manual when you open it.
+
+00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:02.839
+And it's actually nice.
+
+00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:04.479
+I definitely, definitely recommend
+
+00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:07.079
+that you look through
+
+00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.199
+at least the very first couple of chapters of this,
+
+00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:14.199
+skim through it, and later on refer to it
+
+00:03:14.200 --> 00:03:16.133
+whenever you find something confusing
+
+00:03:16.134 --> 00:03:19.499
+or don't understand it.
+
+00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:21.359
+But yeah, we'll start
+
+00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:22.399
+with these two paragraphs here.
+
+00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:23.639
+So again, a Gnus installation
+
+00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:28.119
+is basically just a list of one or more servers
+
+00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.119
+and the subscribed groups from those servers
+
+00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.319
+and articles in those groups.
+
+00:03:32.320 --> 00:03:34.279
+You can already kind of see
+
+00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:39.479
+where that influence of a newsreader comes in.
+
+00:03:39.480 --> 00:03:41.839
+But yeah, basically what it's saying is that,
+
+00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:43.839
+you know, we have one or more servers.
+
+00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.079
+We can think of them as email servers.
+
+00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.359
+Groups can be like, we can think
+
+00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.959
+of them as folders or directories.
+
+00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.239
+And yeah, articles,
+
+00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.559
+those would be like our email messages.
+
+NOTE Configuring servers
+
+00:03:58.560 --> 00:03:59.679
+With Gnus, we can add
+
+00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:06.119
+and configure servers mainly using two variables.
+
+00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:07.919
+One of them is the gnus-select-method
+
+00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:11.479
+and the other is gnus-secondary-select-methods.
+
+00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:15.759
+The first one predates the second one
+
+00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:17.559
+and I generally don't recommend using it, because
+
+00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:22.559
+first of all, it can only point
+
+00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.359
+to one server, and that server,
+
+00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:27.879
+because it's the primary,
+
+00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:32.559
+then Gnus won't add a prefix to its groups,
+
+00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.839
+so later on, as you get into
+
+00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:36.679
+more advanced features of Gnus
+
+00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.519
+and, for example, want to write rules
+
+00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:42.959
+to modify your message composition
+
+00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:47.039
+in a way for certain groups, or file mail,
+
+00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:48.799
+automatically classify mail,
+
+00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:51.879
+this distinction can become
+
+00:04:51.880 --> 00:04:53.959
+confusing and annoying.
+
+00:04:53.960 --> 00:04:57.199
+My recommendation is to always and only use
+
+00:04:57.200 --> 00:05:01.799
+the gnus-secondary-select-methods.
+
+00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:07.319
+Yeah, so let's do that here.
+
+00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:10.299
+I'm gonna uncomment this portion.
+
+00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:16.419
+So here, I set the primary select method to nil,
+
+00:05:16.420 --> 00:05:24.159
+and the second one, I define an nnimap server
+
+00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:30.039
+of the nnimap backend.
+
+00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.439
+I give it the name ec25gnus.
+
+00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:35.879
+What I want it to do is to
+
+00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:37.799
+connect to my mail server,
+
+00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.079
+which is at this address,
+
+00:05:41.080 --> 00:05:46.239
+and fetch emails from it over TLS with this username.
+
+NOTE .authinfo
+
+00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.719
+And then the passwords or the credentials,
+
+00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.839
+you can put them in the .authinfo file.
+
+00:05:56.840 --> 00:05:58.799
+Normally, you would want to, for example,
+
+00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:03.719
+encrypt this file with your GPG key.
+
+00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.719
+But for this demonstration, I haven't.
+
+00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.479
+So yeah, the format is the keyword "machine"
+
+00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.239
+followed by the name of your Gnus server or account,
+
+00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.199
+followed by the word "login",
+
+00:06:17.200 --> 00:06:19.199
+then your login username,
+
+00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:23.959
+and then the password, which here it's not shown.
+
+00:06:23.960 --> 00:06:26.599
+Yeah.
+
+NOTE Configuration
+
+00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.679
+But before we actually set this,
+
+00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:31.479
+I'll just show you that if we like start Gnus
+
+00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.719
+with M-x gnus,
+
+00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.439
+initially, it will just show
+
+00:06:36.440 --> 00:06:37.759
+an error like this.
+
+00:06:37.760 --> 00:06:40.399
+Even if we continue, it's empty.
+
+00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:43.399
+There's not much because Gnus doesn't know
+
+00:06:43.400 --> 00:06:47.039
+where to fetch these emails from.
+
+00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:52.159
+And that's what we will configure.
+
+00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.859
+Excuse me.
+
+00:06:55.860 --> 00:06:57.559
+Yeah, so just for convenience,
+
+00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.079
+we can bind Gnus to,
+
+00:06:59.080 --> 00:07:00.679
+for example, C-c g, as I've done here.
+
+00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.119
+You will want to set your name
+
+00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:05.799
+and email address, like so.
+
+00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.239
+Here we tell Emacs
+
+00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.439
+that we are going to be using Gnus for reading email,
+
+00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:12.839
+because Emacs comes
+
+00:07:12.840 --> 00:07:14.759
+with other email clients as well,
+
+00:07:14.760 --> 00:07:18.559
+such as Rmail, and in fact, defaults to Rmail,
+
+00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:24.839
+so this way, we tell it to use Gnus.
+
+00:07:24.840 --> 00:07:31.559
+By default, Gnus puts its newsrc file and other files,
+
+00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.319
+I believe it still scatters them
+
+00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:35.439
+in a few different directories
+
+00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:36.279
+in your home directory,
+
+00:07:36.280 --> 00:07:37.399
+so it's a little bit messy.
+
+00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:40.039
+So what I prefer to do is to just put it
+
+00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:42.439
+all under the Gnus directory
+
+00:07:42.440 --> 00:07:47.439
+inside of my Emacs configuration, as I do here.
+
+00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:50.639
+Yeah, and then here we just tell Gnus
+
+00:07:50.640 --> 00:07:53.319
+to, like, don't try to bother
+
+00:07:53.320 --> 00:07:55.759
+with a generic newsrc file
+
+00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:57.119
+that would be shared
+
+00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.399
+with other news readers.
+
+00:07:58.400 --> 00:07:59.679
+Just want to use it for email.
+
+00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.959
+And yeah, so we just tell Gnus
+
+00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:03.039
+to keep all of its data
+
+00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:08.079
+inside a dedicated .newsrc.eld
+
+00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:12.159
+(for Emacs Lisp data) file instead.
+
+00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.199
+And we can also have Gnus not prompt us
+
+00:08:15.200 --> 00:08:19.679
+when we want to exit with q.
+
+00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.399
+Anyway, so let's go ahead and evaluate this.
+
+00:08:23.400 --> 00:08:25.719
+So this has been set,
+
+NOTE Starting Gnus
+
+00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:32.267
+so if we type M-x gnus again, or hit C-c g,
+
+00:08:32.268 --> 00:08:35.699
+now we're faced with an empty buffer,
+
+00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:37.399
+and it says no news is good news,
+
+00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:38.399
+and that's actually
+
+00:08:38.400 --> 00:08:40.719
+one of the characteristics of Gnus
+
+00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:44.779
+is that by default it tries
+
+00:08:44.780 --> 00:08:47.619
+to like sort of declutter
+
+00:08:47.620 --> 00:08:49.199
+and show us a little less possible
+
+00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:50.819
+in the group buffer,
+
+00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:53.259
+meaning that if you don't have
+
+00:08:53.260 --> 00:08:55.639
+any groups with unread or marked
+
+00:08:55.640 --> 00:09:00.119
+or, like, starred messages, it will not show them.
+
+00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.959
+To actually see all of our groups or folders,
+
+00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:08.359
+we hit shift L or capital L,
+
+00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:12.419
+and we see that we have an inbox here,
+
+00:09:12.420 --> 00:09:14.879
+as expected. So we enter the inbox,
+
+00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:17.459
+and we see that there is an article there
+
+00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:20.779
+and it's already been marked as read.
+
+00:09:20.780 --> 00:09:22.679
+But if we mark it as unread
+
+00:09:22.680 --> 00:09:25.959
+and exit and enter Gnus again,
+
+00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:27.279
+this is what we would see.
+
+00:09:27.280 --> 00:09:28.839
+We would see that our group
+
+00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:34.099
+and then we enter it, we see our mail here.
+
+00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:36.159
+Yeah, and this is our very first email
+
+00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:40.079
+that we read in GNU Emacs here, inside Gnus.
+
+NOTE Always showing groups
+
+00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:43.839
+It might be useful to have Gnus always show
+
+00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.839
+certain groups or folders
+
+00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:48.319
+even if they don't have
+
+00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.339
+anything unread or marked inside of them.
+
+00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:56.039
+The way we can do that is
+
+00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:57.599
+by setting this variable
+
+00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:01.339
+gnus-permanently-visible-groups
+
+00:10:01.340 --> 00:10:03.039
+to a regular expression
+
+00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:09.119
+that describes the name of these groups.
+
+00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.539
+So if we launch Gnus again,
+
+00:10:11.540 --> 00:10:14.759
+this time, we see that that group is visible,
+
+00:10:14.760 --> 00:10:19.899
+even though there's no unread messages in it.
+
+NOTE Reading messages
+
+00:10:19.900 --> 00:10:24.399
+When we enter a group or folder,
+
+00:10:24.400 --> 00:10:26.719
+we will see a list of all of our messages.
+
+00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:27.799
+Here, we only have one.
+
+00:10:27.800 --> 00:10:31.939
+We can press M-u or Alt-u
+
+00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:34.679
+to mark something as unread.
+
+00:10:34.680 --> 00:10:38.539
+You can press d to mark it as read.
+
+00:10:38.540 --> 00:10:40.079
+If you press just u,
+
+00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.959
+it'll tick the article,
+
+00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.039
+which is kind of the equivalent
+
+00:10:44.040 --> 00:10:46.999
+of marking the message or email
+
+00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.539
+as starred in other email clients
+
+00:10:50.540 --> 00:10:55.719
+such as Thunderbird.
+
+00:10:55.720 --> 00:11:00.639
+We see that when there are groups
+
+00:11:00.640 --> 00:11:03.959
+that have starred or ticked messages
+
+00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:04.679
+inside of them,
+
+00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:05.599
+Gnus will mark them
+
+00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:16.019
+with this little star here, or asterisk.
+
+00:11:16.020 --> 00:11:17.639
+This talk is just barely
+
+00:11:17.640 --> 00:11:19.039
+scratching the surface.
+
+00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:21.080
+Let's see how far...
+
+00:11:21.081 --> 00:11:22.759
+How am I doing with the time?
+
+00:11:22.760 --> 00:11:30.119
+Okay, 11 minutes already.
+
+NOTE Debugging IMAP
+
+00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:32.079
+Just a couple of helpful things here,
+
+00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:36.919
+like this nnimap-record-commands variable.
+
+00:11:36.920 --> 00:11:38.519
+It's useful when you want to debug
+
+00:11:38.520 --> 00:11:40.119
+your IMAP setup with Gnus.
+
+00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.859
+If you set it to anything non-nil,
+
+00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:46.699
+it will log the commands that it runs
+
+00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:49.539
+to a special `*imap log*` buffer.
+
+00:11:49.540 --> 00:11:50.719
+And here I just set it
+
+00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.679
+to this init-file-debug variable,
+
+00:11:52.680 --> 00:11:55.159
+which is set to non-nil
+
+00:11:55.160 --> 00:11:56.439
+whenever you launch Emacs
+
+00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.279
+with the --debug-init switch,
+
+00:11:59.280 --> 00:12:02.239
+so that's pretty helpful.
+
+00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.119
+You want to also set your sent folder,
+
+00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.479
+basically, where Gnus will save
+
+00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.439
+a copy of the message that you just sent.
+
+00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:12.799
+Normally, I think the convention these days is,
+
+00:12:12.800 --> 00:12:16.599
+a lot of you know servers and clients
+
+00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.799
+use a dedicated sent folder,
+
+00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:24.339
+but with Gnus, I just prefer to use INBOX itself.
+
+00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:27.119
+Mainly because then I will have
+
+00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:28.759
+threading working for free,
+
+00:12:28.760 --> 00:12:31.939
+so I can read the entire thread
+
+00:12:31.940 --> 00:12:34.299
+of an email chain there in one place.
+
+00:12:34.300 --> 00:12:35.319
+Of course, we don't have to keep
+
+00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.899
+the messages in there forever.
+
+00:12:38.900 --> 00:12:42.079
+And in fact, Gnus has facilities,
+
+00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:43.479
+both manual and automated,
+
+00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.999
+for expiring emails into
+
+00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.679
+different locations or different folders.
+
+00:12:52.680 --> 00:12:55.159
+Yeah. So let's move on here.
+
+NOTE Topics
+
+00:12:55.160 --> 00:13:02.039
+Topics are another nice feature of Gnus.
+
+00:13:02.040 --> 00:13:03.279
+So this is useful
+
+00:13:03.280 --> 00:13:05.359
+for creating some topics
+
+00:13:05.360 --> 00:13:08.459
+and then classifying or grouping
+
+00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:10.599
+your directories there.
+
+00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:11.799
+So we will see the use
+
+00:13:11.800 --> 00:13:13.639
+of this in a moment,
+
+00:13:13.640 --> 00:13:17.019
+where, let's say, I want to add
+
+00:13:17.020 --> 00:13:19.999
+a second account to Gnus.
+
+00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:23.559
+This one I'm going to call ec25work.
+
+00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:24.679
+Let's pretend that
+
+00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:29.859
+this is my work email.
+
+00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:32.479
+So if we open Gnus now,
+
+00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:36.999
+we see that our work INBOX
+
+00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:37.959
+also shows up here.
+
+00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.299
+And because we enabled topic mode,
+
+00:13:41.300 --> 00:13:42.359
+we see that we have
+
+00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:43.439
+these sort of buttons
+
+00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:44.839
+like Gnus and misc here.
+
+00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.679
+And we can, I believe,
+
+00:13:46.680 --> 00:13:49.799
+create a topic with capital T n.
+
+00:13:49.800 --> 00:13:52.879
+We can call it personal, this one.
+
+00:13:52.880 --> 00:13:56.939
+Let's create another one, work.
+
+00:13:56.940 --> 00:13:59.579
+And then what we can do is go
+
+00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:02.799
+over the directory that we want,
+
+00:14:02.800 --> 00:14:04.759
+for example, this one,
+
+00:14:04.760 --> 00:14:08.219
+hit capital T m to move it
+
+00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:11.899
+to the personal topic,
+
+00:14:11.900 --> 00:14:13.079
+and this work one,
+
+00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.199
+move it to the work topic.
+
+00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.439
+So we can nicely classify
+
+00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:23.119
+and group our groups folders here,
+
+00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:24.719
+which is especially useful
+
+00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:25.559
+when you have hundreds of them.
+
+NOTE Customizing message display
+
+00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:29.759
+Anyhow, we can customize
+
+00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:35.039
+different aspects of message display.
+
+00:14:35.040 --> 00:14:35.839
+Like for example,
+
+00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.199
+we can this way customize
+
+00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:39.199
+and change the order of
+
+00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:41.599
+which headers we want to see and where.
+
+00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.199
+So if I launch Gnus
+
+00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.459
+and go back to this email here,
+
+00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:52.139
+these are the headers that we see at the top.
+
+00:14:52.140 --> 00:14:52.639
+Excuse me.
+
+00:14:52.640 --> 00:14:55.159
+And with Gnus we can always
+
+00:14:55.160 --> 00:14:57.799
+We can have it show all the headers
+
+00:14:57.800 --> 00:15:01.999
+by pressing t to toggle the headers.
+
+00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:04.579
+Here we can see all the nitty-gritty
+
+00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:06.359
+and all of the headers in the message
+
+00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:12.219
+and we can toggle it back with t again.
+
+00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:16.479
+We can modify and customize the sorting
+
+00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:20.019
+with dedicated sorting functions.
+
+00:15:20.020 --> 00:15:20.999
+It comes with a number of them
+
+00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:21.599
+out of the box
+
+00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.319
+but we can define them as well.
+
+NOTE Sending emails
+
+00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:29.759
+Now to send emails. Let's see.
+
+00:15:29.760 --> 00:15:30.999
+We will be using message,
+
+00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:34.939
+and that's what Gnus itself uses.
+
+00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:38.579
+So I will set things up here.
+
+00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:42.639
+Let's see.
+
+00:15:42.640 --> 00:15:44.519
+Okay, so first of all,
+
+00:15:44.520 --> 00:15:46.439
+we want to have Gnus mark
+
+00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.519
+the messages that we write to others
+
+00:15:48.520 --> 00:15:49.759
+as read automatically,
+
+00:15:49.760 --> 00:15:51.359
+so this option does that.
+
+00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:58.039
+And then we define posting styles this way
+
+00:15:58.040 --> 00:16:01.619
+using the prefix, the name
+
+00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:04.359
+of the IMAP server.
+
+00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:06.519
+And this is how we can tell it to use
+
+00:16:06.520 --> 00:16:09.199
+what email address for the From [header]
+
+00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:14.599
+and which SMTP server to send it with.
+
+00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.879
+Yeah, and then gcc is where Gnus will save
+
+00:16:17.880 --> 00:16:20.199
+the copy of the messages that we write.
+
+00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.139
+So if we go ahead and launch Gnus again.
+
+00:16:24.140 --> 00:16:26.279
+We can go into our personal email here,
+
+00:16:26.280 --> 00:16:28.919
+hit m to compose a new message.
+
+00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:33.559
+We can prepare an email to,
+
+00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:35.119
+let's say, our work address.
+
+00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:42.419
+Hello from EmacsConf 2025 Gnus talk.
+
+00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:47.639
+Hello, this is just a test. :)
+
+00:16:47.640 --> 00:16:55.739
+Yeah, and we hit send.
+
+00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.919
+The sending will be done
+
+00:16:56.920 --> 00:17:03.479
+using Emacs's built-in SMTP libraries.
+
+00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:05.119
+Sometimes it can take a moment.
+
+00:17:05.120 --> 00:17:07.599
+Okay, that's it. It's done.
+
+00:17:07.600 --> 00:17:09.259
+So if we go back out
+
+00:17:09.260 --> 00:17:11.559
+and if we hit g to get new news,
+
+00:17:11.560 --> 00:17:15.679
+we should be able to see our new email there
+
+00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.639
+in the other account that we just sent it to.
+
+00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:22.360
+So we can come here, open it,
+
+00:17:22.361 --> 00:17:26.659
+and there we go.
+
+NOTE Plans
+
+00:17:26.660 --> 00:17:29.239
+There is a lot to configure in Gnus,
+
+00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.439
+and we're just barely scratching the surface,
+
+00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.079
+and unfortunately I don't have the time
+
+00:17:34.080 --> 00:17:34.999
+to explain all of these
+
+00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.519
+but I do plan on doing
+
+00:17:36.520 --> 00:17:38.839
+a much longer running series,
+
+00:17:38.840 --> 00:17:41.499
+whether it's text or videos,
+
+00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:42.879
+showing how to configure
+
+00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.319
+and use a lot of these different aspects of Gnus.
+
+00:17:45.320 --> 00:17:49.519
+But yeah, here, near the end, just a couple of...
+
+00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:54.919
+quick things. I find it's nice to have message
+
+00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.519
+prompt us for [confirmation]
+
+00:17:56.520 --> 00:17:59.199
+that we do want to send a message.
+
+00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:01.359
+Actually, when it does that, I take
+
+00:18:01.360 --> 00:18:02.599
+another look over my email
+
+00:18:02.600 --> 00:18:07.059
+to make sure I don't have any typos.
+
+00:18:07.060 --> 00:18:09.519
+It's generally a good idea to wrap your messages
+
+00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:14.119
+around 70 or 72 characters.
+
+00:18:14.120 --> 00:18:16.619
+We do that here.
+
+00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:19.159
+We can tell Gnus to forward messages
+
+00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.599
+as a proper MIME part,
+
+00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:27.059
+instead of some half-broken way.
+
+00:18:27.060 --> 00:18:30.119
+This customization, the sendmail function,
+
+00:18:30.120 --> 00:18:34.239
+is how we tell Gnus with message
+
+00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:38.239
+to use the SMTP library to sending the email,
+
+00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.479
+and these two variables are useful for
+
+00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.959
+omitting our own email address
+
+00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:47.439
+when we want to send someone,
+
+00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.179
+like when we hit r, to reply to someone.
+
+00:18:50.180 --> 00:18:51.959
+if we configure these variables,
+
+00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:52.959
+then Gnus won't add
+
+00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:56.059
+our own address to the To or Cc,
+
+00:18:56.060 --> 00:18:58.479
+which is pretty useful.
+
+00:18:58.480 --> 00:18:59.919
+I also find it helpful
+
+00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:03.359
+to unbind C-c C-s.
+
+00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:04.974
+That's another key
+
+00:19:04.975 --> 00:19:06.319
+for sending the message [in addition to C-c C-c].
+
+00:19:06.320 --> 00:19:09.719
+And because C-c C-d,
+
+00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.359
+which is very close to it on the QWERTY layout,
+
+00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:15.719
+is useful for saving a draft
+
+00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:16.839
+and then coming back to it,
+
+00:19:16.840 --> 00:19:20.079
+I don't want to accidentally hit C-c C-s,
+
+00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:22.039
+and send the message prematurely.
+
+00:19:22.040 --> 00:19:25.979
+So I unbind it.
+
+00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:27.959
+Yeah, anyway, that's about it.
+
+NOTE Wrapping up
+
+00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:31.039
+That's a kind of very quick tour
+
+00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:37.119
+and introduction of setting up Gnus.
+
+00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:40.719
+Here, we just configured a remote IMAP server,
+
+00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:43.519
+but we can also, of course,
+
+00:19:43.520 --> 00:19:46.359
+set up a local IMAP server such as Dovecot
+
+00:19:46.360 --> 00:19:48.399
+and point Gnus to there,
+
+00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.799
+and use programs like OfflineIMAP, I believe,
+
+00:19:52.800 --> 00:19:57.479
+or the mbsync program from isync package
+
+00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:02.939
+or isync project to synchronize our messages
+
+00:20:02.940 --> 00:20:04.479
+to local mail directories
+
+00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:06.279
+and then point Gnus to it.
+
+00:20:06.280 --> 00:20:08.359
+The reason we might want to use that
+
+00:20:08.360 --> 00:20:11.719
+is to always have a copy of our messages at hand
+
+00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:12.759
+so we can use offline.
+
+NOTE nnimap
+
+00:20:12.760 --> 00:20:17.439
+And why use nnimap specifically?
+
+00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:27.399
+As of now, the Maildir backend included with Gnus
+
+00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.679
+is very inefficient,
+
+00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:31.399
+especially when dealing with
+
+00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:33.839
+tens or hundreds of thousands of messages
+
+00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:36.659
+like some of us are.
+
+00:20:36.660 --> 00:20:38.759
+It just takes an eternity to try
+
+00:20:38.760 --> 00:20:43.259
+and index them and get going.
+
+00:20:43.260 --> 00:20:44.639
+In that case, what I recommend doing
+
+00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:47.799
+is instead of interfacing directly with Maildir,
+
+00:20:47.800 --> 00:20:52.359
+for Gnus, just install and run
+
+00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:54.359
+Dovecot, a local IMAP server,
+
+00:20:54.360 --> 00:20:59.819
+and point Gnus to that.
+
+00:20:59.820 --> 00:21:02.959
+I plan on writing tutorials or doing videos
+
+00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.639
+about these other aspects
+
+00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:10.519
+of configuring Gnus after the conference.
+
+00:21:10.520 --> 00:21:11.439
+That's about it for me,
+
+00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.119
+so I hope you find this helpful.
+
+00:21:14.120 --> 00:21:16.679
+If you have any questions,
+
+00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.239
+please feel free to email me
+
+00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:23.759
+at bandali@gnu.org or @kelar.org.
+
+00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:25.879
+You can take a look at my personal website
+
+00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:26.839
+where I plan on posting
+
+00:21:26.840 --> 00:21:31.059
+other Emacs and Gnus materials.
+
+00:21:31.060 --> 00:21:33.039
+And yeah, thank you for watching
+
+00:21:33.040 --> 00:21:35.159
+and I hope you enjoy the rest of the conference.
+
+00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:37.760
+Take care.
