Hi Simon, I use gnus, and received help from people on the list. Here's a small contribution if you do get going with it: The listing of emails in the summary buffer will look *terrible* with the default settings. But you can make it look really nice using unicode characters for arrows etc. (Example settings below, screenshot at http://www.princeton.edu/~ddavison/gnus.png) (Plus, if you use gnus you don't have to see these ridiculous Kindergarten-style dotted lines and scissors that people put in emails :) ) Dan --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- ;; http://groups.google.com/group/gnu.emacs.gnus/browse_thread/thread/a673a= 74356e7141f (when window-system (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-indent " ") (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-root "") ;; "=E2=97=8F ") (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-false-root "") ;; "=E2=97=AF ") (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-single-indent "") ;; "=E2=97=8E ") (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-vertical "=E2=94=82") (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-leaf-with-other "=E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=96=BA ") (setq gnus-sum-thread-tree-single-leaf "=E2=95=B0=E2=94=80=E2=96=BA "= )) (setq gnus-summary-line-format (concat "%0{%U%R%z%}" "%3{=E2=94=82%}" "%1{%d%}" "%3{=E2=94=82%}" ;; date " " "%4{%-20,20f%}" ;; name " " "%3{=E2=94=82%}" " " "%1{%B%}" "%s\n")) (setq gnus-summary-display-arrow t) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > > Gnus has far and away the biggest user base, the best support, and is > the most actively developed (as far as I can tell VM -- which I used for > a couple of years-- is a dead project).
