Hi,
Not stictly a SUSE issue but I have been considering using emacs for mail etc etc as I spend much of my time in it. Two questions really. 1) Any thoughts on emacs v xemacs
I only use GNU Emacs. I've experimented with its mail facility before but not switched to it. You should take into account that emacs will save your messages in a different format than, for example, Netscape or Elm (which use some standard format), so you are stuck with it. At least that was the case when I tried it a while ago (ver 19.x), it may have changed. Try Emacs and XEmacs and select the one you prefer.
2) How easy (am an relative newbie) is it to configure mail for these. Am currently using kmail, via smtp.
Emacs has a customization interface, use the Help->Customize->Browse Customization Groups menu option. You can setup your environment there. Tell it what is your SMTP server and go. As for MIME, I think you can also configure that.
