I've always wanted to switch from Gnus to another Emacs MUA because I don't like its design (its API that is), but I failed to find anything equivalent. And I'm afraid, MH-E is VM-like, according to its documentation (no offence). And VM lacks many important features. So far, if Gnus didn't exist, I would use Wanderlust http://www.gohome.org/wl which offers quite some interesting features. For me, a good MUA needs to handle: - Multiple mailboxes - Hierachical folders : sorting mailboxes in different folders - Mailing lists: when replying to the list, setting "To:" properly as well as Mail-Followup-To - Multiple personalities: sets of address+organisation+signature and so on that you can switch on the fly - at least: POP, IMAP, Mbox and Maildir (I must have forgotten many features) Cheers, -- J閞鬽e Marant http://marant.org
