Subject: interesting use of 'agents'

Well, so I was thinking. You see, I've been stuck in W95 for a while
for mailing (due to problems with linux and my modem) (which may,
fortunately, end in the near future at least), but anyhow, my problem
goes something like this:
I have all these development type mailing lists that I'd prefer to
handle in Linux, as thats where I do my code development. Currently,
I read my mail under the NT port of emacs using gnus (as always :-).
It works fine, except I miss a few things, like a decent mime editor
(tm doesn't work) and the smiley icons. Other than that, I'm damn
impressed that it works at all.
Now. Seems to me, I could do something like this: Download and read
mail as normal under W95 (I'd have to switch to qgnus here, which I
haven't done yet, but...) and then under the linux side use
gnus-unplugged and link in the News and Mail directories as well as
the .newsrc.eld file. Then I can actually read and send mail from
there (through the drafts folder) and actually do the sending the next
time I switch back again.
All this is somewhat mute, as I will hopefully be picking up a
temporary borrowed modem tomorrow sometime to use instead. Hopefully,
my job should be providing me with an ISDN line once I actually get a
job (they said they would at least). Thats why I haven't bought a
modem yet. But. You certainly don't care about this...
