I've been using Vim and Mutt all these years (although I had a brief fling with emacs about 20 years ago). Having moved from Linux to Mac OS X a year ago, I couldn't find a decent newsreader and decided to try gnus (I'm running Aquamacs on my Mac). Am trying to use emacs for my text editing in place of Vim, although I feel guilty. Everything is going well (mostly) except for having a lot of key-combos to internalize.
Well, in for a penny, in for a pound. I'm now doing my email with gnus as well. Basic setup using procmail and nnfolder, so I can still look at things with Mutt (as a security blanket), but generally am quite happy. One answer I haven't been able to find yet is how to use my .mail_alias file with gnus. It seems it wouldn't be too hard to write some elisp to do that, but perhaps someone has done it? Most mail addressing advice I find for gnus seems to use the BBDB, which seems to have mixed results on Aquamacs (based on my googling). It also seems like a real overkill for me. I'm something of a dinosaur and keep mailing addresses with pen and ink, keep business cards I need with a big paperclip. All I want from a mail-address-keeping program is my alias for the person, the real name, and the email address.
