Question 8.1

How to find information and help inside Emacs?

Answer

The first stop should be the Gnus manual (Say C-h i d m Gnus RET to start the Gnus manual, then walk through the menus or do a full-text search with s). Then there are the general Emacs help commands starting with C-h, type C-h ? ? to get a list of all available help commands and their meaning. Finally M-x apropos-command lets you search through all available functions and M-x apropos searches the bound variables.
