Re: emacspeak causes gnus not to work

["T. V. Raman" <tvraman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The shell script  was never intended to be the primary way of running
emacspeak,
but rather as a means for novice users to start emacspeak.

Emacspeak files need to be loaded before *anything* else for Emacspeak
to have a  prayer of working.

And anyone who is using gnus doesn't count as a novice user in my
emacs book.

The recipe for starting emacspeak from one's .emacs has been posted
numerous times on this list --
