I am intrigued.  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?

Thanks,
Henri-Paul
