My email flow consists of: 1. Fetch my mail from various sources with fetchmail. Usenet articles are fetched via leafnode. 2. The mail in then passed to procmail for spam proccessing with spamassassin, spilt into the appropriate groups with a procmailrc subfile generated by niko-bbdb-split.el[1], and delivered to the maildir directory using the "deliver" program from Dovecot. 3. I send my mail by passing it on the my local smtp server (postfix). 4.

I suggest just setting up a local imap server, such as Dovecot, for this. As a side note, I am happy with the presentation in Gnus via emacs-w3m integration for highly formatted mail (and of cause Emacs supports inline images).
