I'm into learning Gnus too, so I will (soon) get my mail and news into
Emacs...

I can't seem to find that in emacsen's elisps nor in the
apt-cache... Seems to be an Emacs wiz's secret, eh ? ;)

Yeah, Linux definitely rocks! I too don't like holy wars so much (but
I like reading posts on it ;) I prefer trying several different
apps/tools and get myself acquainted with each one; thus, given a
situation, I can decide which is the right tool for the job. I love
both the Un*x and GNU philosophies, but I don't really believe in
strictly following one or the other: to do so contradicts the very
idea of hacking, whose definition itself shows its hardy, naturalistic
roots.

Cheers,
Zakame
