6.4.5 Web Archive

Some mailing lists only have archives on Web servers, such as http://www.egroups.com/ and http://www.mail-archive.com/. It has a quite regular and nice interface, and it's possible to get the information Gnus needs to keep groups updated.

The easiest way to get started with nnwarchive is to say something like the following in the group buffer: M-x gnus-group-make-warchive-group RET an_egroup RET egroups RET www.egroups.com RET your@email.address RET. (Substitute the an_egroup with the mailing list you subscribed, the your@email.address with your email address.), or to browse the back end by B nnwarchive RET mail-archive RET.

The following nnwarchive variables can be altered:

nnwarchive-directory

The directory where nnwarchive stores its files. The default is
`~/News/warchive/'.

nnwarchive-login

The account name on the web server.

nnwarchive-passwd

The password for your account on the web server.
