If you don't like Gmail, but Emacs, you can use the Emacs message mode to compose, the ~/.mailrc file to keep an address book, and Gnus or Rmail to read/organize. If this is something you would like to do, but are hesitant as to *how*, this list is here to help. There is no point being frustrated what other people do or do not. -- Emanuel Berg, programmer-for-rent. CV, projects, etc at uXu underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
