A while ago I had to use a Windows machine at work, and of course the first thing I did was install on it. Most things worked surprisingly well, but I couldn't get to work. I also tried and , but I also failed to either install them or compile them.

At the end I tried , and everything worked out of the box. I didn't even need to install any GNU utility.

Gnus is not the prettiest, and its terminology and configuration is confusing. But it is incredibly versatile.

It has worked very nicely as an Email email client, specially to manage mailing lists. But now I also use it for things like Reddit and Hackernews.

What are your experiences with Emacs mail clients under Windows? Is anyone using something other than Gnus?

I think the biggest mistake done by Dr Stallman was choosing Linux as the kernel for the GNU operating system.

And we are facing the consequences of that mistake to this very day.

hochata,

@colinsmatt11 @jamesp What were the other options? I thought most other kernels had license issues, but I don't know much about GNU history...

hochata,

@colinsmatt11 @jamesp What is your solution?
