I wish to compare various > ways to enjoy email without gnus. 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. -- ~/.signature
