It is really difficult to actually enjoy mail without Gnus.  In fact,
I can't imagine doing this.

Actually, I thought that running Emacs in a terminal made it rather
usable even over a very slow line.  I did that once in a situation
where I could easily type much faster than the connection could keep
up (I'd write half a line, then pause for a couple of seconds to wait
for the other end to catch up).  It wasn't fun, but then nothing was
fun over that connection, not even typing `ls' at the shell...

Another approach is to set up an IMAP server and a web interface to
go along with it.  Then you can either use Gnus as an IMAP client or
use the web-based IMAP client.  This would make it easier to compose
messages because that would be done locally.  Then, you'd `only' have
to wait when you select a message for viewing or suchlike.
