Totally with you on the second: Linux is more fun and more flexible and
stable than any Windows OS I've ever used (and that's been a lot of them).
But gnus has been problemmatic for me. I have multiple email accounts
which I access using imaps (running on different servers). Setting
these all up and managing them is a snap with Thunderbird. On the other
hand, I've spend *days* trying to get gnus to do the same and never did
get them anything close to working. So I gave up. There's too many
other things in my life to do. If there's ever clear and accurate
enough documentation on doing this, I might attempt it again.
(But then, how does gnus handle html-formatted emails with images (e.g.,
photos)...? PDFs?)
