Thank you for the Emacs wiki link. I honestly didn't know it existed. I
have a paper copy of the manual. I'm an undergraduate student and decided
to use GNU Emacs. It's awesome and I expect to use it for life; although it
feels odd saying that. Besides one c++ instructor, I think I'm the only
person using emacs at my institute, NYU-Poly. I was glad to find the
mailing list yesterday too. I've been alone for two months. Thanks for your
help guys.
Xecycle mentioned I should not attach my public key or whatever I did.
Sorry about that. I was in thunderbird and it seems I can't figure how to
attach my signature. But why use thunderbird when I can use emacs??? Do any
of you use emacs for email and mailing lists and calendars? And how has
your experience been? I'll search the wiki and my manual, but I appreciate
hearing from other people.
Sincerely,
