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... Wes -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous. They're more afraid of you than you are of them."
