Gnus has had the reputation of being difficult to grasp and
configure.  The myriad of configuration options of its many major
and minor modes which afford Gnus its high degree of customizability
can also seem overwhelming and daunting for folks looking to learn
about and use it to build a workflow for doing email in GNU Emacs.

This talk aims to provide a high-level outline of some of the key
concepts in Gnus, and a roadmap for approaching and configuring Gnus
and Message to your liking so that you, too, can read, compose, and
send emails with GNU Emacs.
