'''Gnus''' ({{IPAc-en|ɡ|ə|ˈ|n|uː|z|,_|ˈ|ɡ|n|uː|z}}), or Gnus Network User Services, is a message reader which is part of [[GNU Emacs]]. It supports reading and composing both [[e-mail]] and [[Usenet|news]] and can also act as an [[RSS]] reader, web processor, and directory browser for both local and remote filesystems.

Gnus blurs the distinction between news and e-mail, treating them both as "articles" that come from different sources. News articles are kept separate by group, and e-mail can be split into arbitrary groups, similar to folders in other mail readers. In addition, Gnus is able to use a number of [[World Wide Web|web]]-based sources as inputs for its groups.
