I have a  shell script that can send  an email message using
an  encrypted session;  I will  try  to use  it through  the
`message-send-mail-function' interface.

In  the meantime  I filed  a  feature request  on the  Emacs
mailing list.

new again, list all groups

Hi all,
Using Gnus 5.11
      Emacs 21.4
I set up my gnus to read NNTP newsgroups.
The server seems OK, I get just this group and 3 others.

How could I get the list of all available groups on this server?

Hi,

See http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/gnus/_005b3_002e4_005d.html#g_t_005b3_002e4_005d

Have you ever considered how much text can fit in eighty columns?  Given that a
signature typically contains up to four lines of text, this space allows you to
attach a tremendous amount of valuable information to your messages.  Seize the
opportunity and don't waste your signature on bullshit that nobody cares about.

You can use `A a' to search for patterns in the list of all groups, or
you can type `A A' to see a list of *all* the "active" groups on your
current NNTP server.

One thing that is important to know is that that the `A A' command will
have to download the list of all groups from the remote NNTP server.
This may take quite some time if you are behind a slow-ish connection,
so please use with care.

The Gnus manual includes even more group-related commands in the section
`Listing Groups'.  You can open this section directly through the Index
of the manual by typing `C-h i m Gnus RET i group listing RET'.

Have fun with your new Gnus installation, and please feel free to post
any other questions here.  I think this is one of the reasons why the
group is auto-subscribed; so that new users will find it easily and get
help from more experienced Gnus users :-)

As explained  in the  Texinfo documentation that  comes with
Gnus (gnus.gz file on my Slackware Linux installation), node
"Subscription Commands", you  can enter the "*Group*" buffer
by typing  "M-x gnus RET"  in Emacs and  then do hit  "S s":
Gnus  will ask  for the  name of  the newsgroup,  you answer
"gnu.emacs.gnus"   and   that   is   it.    But   read   the
documentation!

All messages unread

I am a beginner and I want to use gnus for reading newsgroups.
I subscribed a few newsgroups and I could read the messages in them. When 
gnus restart I could see my subscribed newsgroups, but all the messages 
in them are unread, so it's not very easy to find and read new messages.
I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what.
Could you help me please?
Thanks

I have to quit using "q" instead of close the buffer or C-x k to kill
the buffer.

gnus-select-newsgroup: Couldn't activate group gnu.emacs.gnus: 411
group did exist but has been deleted

When, in a group, you have read all the posts that you want to read,
you can do MC.  Then all the extant posts in that group will be marked
as read, and you won't see them again unless you deliberately dredge
them up.
