Emacs. Any ideas? From: Devin Prater <r.d.t.prater@gmail.com> Gcc:
nnfolder+archive:sent.2017 --text follows this line-- Hi all. As a
somewhat-newbie, I thought I'd try my hand at configuring Gnus to my
liking: getting rid of the [number-of-lines] before subject, adding the
date to the summary buffer, that kind of stuff which modern mail clients
do. So, I went in, messed things up, went to the wiki about gnus with
Gmail, put a little of that in my ~/.gnus.el file, put a little more in
my .emacs.el file, and now, some headers display even though I told Gnus
to not show any headers, Quoted text is not in the quoted text face, and
I think I screwed gnus up pretty badly. So, any way to at least get it
back to total defaults? Or is there a better email client that works
with Emacspeak, which I can use? I’ve /tried/ to get offlineimap
working, but so far, I’ve failed with that, so I don’t think mu4e will
work. I’ve tried wanderlust, but it doesn’t seem to work with Emacspeak.
I would use a graphic client like Thunderbird, but for one, I like
Emacs, and for two, it thinks its 5 hours in the future. I have gotten
Mutt working, but that doesn’t work will at all with Emacspeak. So, any
ideas? -- Sent from Discordia using Gnus for Emacs. Email:

I use mu4e with mpop. mpop is relatively simple to configure and it
works for me. So, if you are ok with POP, you can try that. However, I
am not sure mu4e works with Emacspeak.

You should be able to get Gnus back to defaults simply by commenting out
everything in your .gnus.el file except for the server definitions. That
should put you back to vanilla Gnus.
If you want to take another stab at configuring the look of the summary
buffers, you might have better luck asking in emacs.gnus.general.
