<edrx> I haven't used planner in ages, and now I need to check what
       `planner-create-task-from-buffer' does in a gnus "*Article*"
       buffer (long story). I created a directory ~/Plans but it
       (planner) gives this error: "There is no page TaskPool in
       project nil". what do I need to fix now? how do I create, or
       set, a "project"?

There is no page TaskPool in project nil.

A very basic planner question...
(require 'planner)
(make-directory "~/Plans/")
(setq planner-project "WikiPlanner")
(planner-find-file "TaskPool")
;; -> error: There is no page TaskPool in project nil.

<edrx> some basic questions about gnus...
<edrx> I'm trying to answer this using gnus:
<edrx> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-11/msg00648.html
<edrx> but (1) I don't know how to fetch gnu.emacs.devel from
       quimby.gnus.org, only from
       http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel - i.e., (progn (setq
       gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org"))
       (gnus-fetch-group "gmane.emacs.devel"))
<edrx> (2) that message by rms doesn't appear when I ask gnus to
       fetch 100 messages from that group... I guessed that "fetch
       100" means "fetch the last 100 in chronological order", not
       some stranger order that is half-thread-based... (2a) what
       is the order? (2b) how do I ask gnu to access the server
       again and reread what's there? (2c) can I do that asking it
       to read another number of messages, not 100?

Help needed:
I sent a bug report to gnu.emacs.bug,
and I received an answer (with a "try this"-ish patch)
that indicated that the discussion was being moved
to gnu.emacs.devel...

         (gnus-fetch-group "gnu.emacs.bug"))

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusGmail

The setup of gnus for gmail is quite simply:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (setq gnus-select-method '(nnimap "imap.gmail.com"))
 (setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
#+END_SRC

and in ~/.authinfo.gpg:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
 machine imap.gmail.com login <username> password <password> port  imap
 machine smtp.gmail.com login <username> password <password> port  587
#+END_EXAMPLE  That is enough to get and check mail (M-x gnus) and send mail (C-x m).  Since it is imap, nothing is kept locally so whatever you do in gnus is reflected on your phone and vice versa.

One thing that bears mentioning is that gnus treats mail as news so it won't show you by default already read messages (like most mail apps), hit L to show all groups (as opposed to l for only groups with new messages) and enter the INBOX group to see all previous messages.
