In my opinion the biggest difference is the mail storage=20 support. AFAIK Rmail really only has one type: its own files. It=20 depends on external programs to move or copy messages across from=20 other types, both local and remote. Gnus even just for mail is quite different on that front: (info=20 "(gnus) Mail Source Specifiers"). But Gnus also (mostly) unifies the news and mail reading=20 experience, treating news as just another kind of message storage. Regards, - Joel
