I'm a bit lost as so far i haven't found whether to set up rc files like you do for mutt [.procmailrc, .muttrc, mstmprc, .fetchmailrc] or what? Rmail or Gnus is part of emacs i understood although one can replace with VM. Be grateful for advice or links as i think i've been looking in the wrong places - online manual seems v.brief and the emacs.pdf is a bit thin. thanks james [uk]
