While looking for this dot-file generator (unsuccessfully :(
I came across this post:

  http://my.gnus.org/node/view/300

Which claims: 
  "Xemacs Calendar in sync with plan and my pda , ToDo, all in one window."

I thought Sacha, with her obsessive interest in "how people do stuff" 
wrt PIMs might be most interested in this :)  However, it's a pretty 
neat looking screenshot, and I wouldn't mind seeing
planner/emacs-wiki/muse/remember et al, evolve into something like 
this (esp. the PDA sync part !).

Oh, and since this thread was originally about discussing e-mail 
clients, here's my $.02:

 - For things I need to incorporate into planner, I use mh-e, for 
   most normal day-to-day correspondence, I use exmh
 - I've tried Gnus, but just couldn't figure out how to configure it 
   to my liking (I only spent about 2 hours with it)
 - I looked at WL, but it just looked like way too much effort

My biggest problem is that I'm heavily invested in a 
non-IMAP configuration involving fetchmail and procmail.  If I could 
figure out some way to get server-side sorting/filtering working such 
that I could easily connect with an IMAP client I'd probably make a 
more concerted effort to switch to something like Gnus.  But until 
then, I can't just bear to throw away 10 years worth of procmail 
scripts :(
