What exactly do you want from an e-mail client? If one would make a list of ten things it is expected to do, and those things are normal things like compose, send and read mail, then I dare say Gnus can do those things with a minimal config file (.gnus or a subset of .emacs) to just pinpoint the servers, e-mail, and so. I mean, some people say, ~"I spent years on Gnus". Well, so did I! But I don't think I did this because there was anything wrong with Gnus to begin with. I spent years on Emacs as well, not because it was bad, but because it was good! (and now it is even better) Why would I/we do that to a lousy piece of software to begin with? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
