It's true that setting up everything takes some time. But, once it's done, you
can go wherever (to client sites) with your config file and get the same level
of functionality as you had on your first PC.
I am using Gnus for accessing the company IMAP server and different newsgroups
(from our provider and from Gname).

My goal is to get my .gnus file published on the Web, for helping people (the
same way I got helped by looking at other's config files).
Though, I need to get my private stuff removed from this file. Not yet done.
Could be in a couple of weeks from now.

Not a prob'.
Inlined photos are just seeable directly in the buffers.
The same for HTML (with emacs-w3m and the w3m browser available from Cygwin).
For HTML with Java inside, just K H to fire up Firefox with the mail
contents...
PDF are normal links. Just clicking on them opens up SumatraPDF under Windows
or okular under Linux.
All of that in one config file, usable under both Windows and Linux, without
any change. Just conditional setup.
