Hmm... I picked gnus the first day I started using emacs. I have
never had a chance to explore RMail. As stated in emacswiki:

"Rmail is the primary Emacs mail-reader. I don't know how many people
currently use it, but I will ignore any suggestion to treat it as
unimportant." -- RMS

I'm curious if it's capable of dealing large volume mailing lists.
