Gnus is my default mailer, but Exmh is cool, and it is better to use 
something like a mailer to mail than fire up the bulky XEmacs just 
becouse I have to send mails...

Yup, that's why I find it easy. The icons in this release have been 
upgraded, better real easy PGP support, and it now can connect to 
NNTP servers like a charm...used it to access public access NNTPs and 
is working great. Still arcane stuff like forward highlighting, sig 
handling seem to have become difficult, and my conf options from 2.1 
are not doing very great.

Our sysadmins are Microsoft Certified MCSE's etc etc., inducted into 
the org in 1994-96, stopped keeping track since then.Enuff said.
