Ok, one of the questions you have I can respond to. This is the way
to set up email.
It is kind of tricky, and there are two possibilities for setting it
up.
If you are using yasr, the idea is to set up fetchmail. You will need
to read the manual page on fetchmail for the kinds of information and
the syntax needed for the ~/.fetchmailrc file. Once this is set up,
it is, then, possible to use the included copy of pine or whatever
other mail program you want to use, in order to get and send your
mail.
Under emacspeak, the process requires two distinct steps. I will
include the code for you. It has been sent several times, and is in
the archives, but here it is again.
The first part of the code goes into the ~/.emacs file. It is:
(setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
(setq smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail-server-name-for-your-isp")
;;(setq smtpmail-smtp-service "smtp")
(setq smtpmail-local-domain "YOUR DOMAIN NAME")
(load-library "smtpmail")
Now, you have the ability to get mail out of your system.
It is now time for the rest of the code that goes into the .vm file so
that it can contact the server from which your system retrieves your
mail. It goes like this.
(setq
vm-spool-files'("mail-protocol:server-from-which-to-retrieve-mail:port-to-get-mail-from:authentication-ptotocol:your-user-name-on-the-mail-server:password-for-getting-into-server"))
(setq vm-auto-get-new-mail number-of-seconds-between-polls-of-mail-server)
Now you have it. If you have all this information, you can get and
send your mail under emacspeak.
As far as a browser with cooky capability, I do not know. I would
have to look through the documentation for w3 which you can do by just
doing an alt-x followed by w3 than return. This will take you to the
home page for w3 where you can read the documentation online.
As far as w3m is concerned, you have the manual for this online right
on your machine. All you have to do is to enter control-h followed by
i. When this puts you into the info system of emacs, just enter the
lower case letter m followed by w3m. If this does not find it, just
use the search function of emacs, then find emacs-w3m or whatever they
call it, hit return and start reading.
Hope this helps.
