Re: wanderlust and mew - which might be best choice for me?



to be honest, pretty nose to nose.  but if you are newish to emacs,
wellllll .....

one is maintained by a really meticulous hacker, though he has recently
gone over to the weird side (haskell) :)

the other by a linux-philosophy mob with git and all that cruft i have
no desire to learn, and a bit of oversight from tokyo.  but i can pull a
cvs every year or two and survive.

but if you are newish to emacs, wellllll .....

i chose wanderlust because a long-term co-worker, who is a far better
elisp hacker than i, runs it and i can whine.  this was a couple of
months before i moved to tokyo and to the desk next to the author of
mew.  and now i work with the author of mutt too.  but i have not even
gotten him to move to emacs for his own use, so not much hope of mutt in
emacs.

but if you are newish to emacs, wellllll.  i guess you can kinda treat
mew or wl as a black box and just do a few setqs.  and this list does
get some tasty copy and pastes.
