In such a situation, it might be a good idea to use Icicles only as an aid to
learning gnus and org, for now.  So you might want to turn off the following for
the time being, while you learn gnus and org:

(setq icicle-top-level-key-bindings           nil
      icicle-redefine-standard-commands-flag  nil)

More variables means more confusion.  Tiny bites swallowed finishes the slice of
bread first (learned that in an elementary-school contest - lost).

Free and open software is much better than sliced bread - or at least better
than some sliced bread. ;-)
