I did, a couple of years ago, switching to mutt+slrn to Gnus. I ended up switching back after a month or so. Gnus for news is fine, slrn works in much the same way, but I couldn't get used to Gnus' handling of email. Gnus treats every mail folder in the same way that it does a news group, and I simply couldn't get used to that. I've considered using one of the email clients for Emacs, but none seems to have been designed with the possibility of having more than one (IMAP)-server in mind. -- Joost Kremers joostkremers@yahoo.com Selbst in die Unterwelt dringt durch Spalten Licht EN:SiS(9)
