I have now been using gnus for quite a while and still I am baffled by its complexity. I am wondering whether notmuchmail has the following features that I have implemented in Gnus: 1. mail splitting into groups according to who sends it 2. posting styles: according to which group I am in it will place a different signature file in my email. 3. Gnus is part of Emacs, thus nothing to install, no prerequisites and other nastiness. What is involved in installing notmuchmail?
