There's something badly missing from the ports system, namely a way to determine what ports/packages to use when there are multiple versions and related-packages. There are "meta" ports, but they are not well- enough developed or not enough of them or at least not well documented. Anyway, have you tried installing /usr/ports/editors/xemacs-comm-packages/ ? That looks like the port with the Gnus I'm probably using. I will also say that configuring Gnus can be a loooooooong process. A question for you: What's the etiquette on addressing mailing list mail? (I've limitted myself to newsgroups until now.) Are people expected to have their mail readers set up to drop mail from both the human and the list server? Is it OK to reply only to the list so those with crummy readers don't get two?
