I use Xemacs on win2k. At the moment, i use muttng & msmtp under
cygwin. I tried using Xemacs, as a mail reader but gave up. VM got to
slow, Wanderlust & Mew are documented in Japanese, and Gnus is so
feature packed it looked like it would take weeks to set up let alone
find out how to use.

I'd be interested in finding out how other people are using emacs
as a mail client, and if it is worth doing.
