+Gnus is a flexible message reader running under GNU Emacs. It supports
+reading and composing both news and mail. In addition, it is able to
+use a number of web-based sources as inputs for its groups.
+
+The main Gnus goal is to provide the user with an efficient and
+extensible interface towards dealing with large numbers of messages,
+no matter the form they may have or wherever they may come from.
+
+Gnus is a fully MIME-compliant and supports reading and composing
+messages using any charset that GNU Emacs supports.
