Using emacs 23 and current org-mode. It took me a looong time to set up gnus after having tried all other email clients for Emacs. The nice thing is that gnus comes with Emacs and so you do not have to worry about additional installations. I also like that I can dispense with .gnus and place all my gnus customizations in my .emacs file. The cons is that gnus is a big nasty beast. Still I would have to learn VM or Wanderlust, so you might as well learn gnus and be done with it. -- Henri-Paul Indiogine Email: hindiogine@gmail.com Skype: hindiogine Website: http://www.coe.tamu.edu/~enrico
