Emacs

Emacs is, as you might know, a powerful texteditor with an advanced scripting language which allows for extending it to your needs. This has been used (and misused) on several occasions to enhance Emacs beyond the use of a simple texteditor. One of these extensions are the Gnus message reader. Gnus itself is also huge and powerful and that's were the trouble begins. In this article I'll give narrowed example on how to configure Emacs (or Gnus) to be used as a mail reader. For those of you who feel brave I suggest you go directly to the online manual or download it in other formats. For the rest of you, who like to spend the rest of this week doing other things than reading the manual, I suggest reading on.
