Hello, Daniel!
Sorry about the late reply. The mailing list at
address@hidden
(http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-wiki-discuss) might be
a good place to ask questions and get quick answers. =) If you prefer
to use Gmane (a mailing list->NNTP/blog gateway), check out
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.wiki.general .

I use Gnus + fetchmail/ssl. You can have Gmail forward your mail to a
POP address, and you can run some kind of spam filtering thing. My
mail server marks spam messages for me, though, so filtering is very
easy.

I use ratpoison now. It's also a full-screen keyboard-friendly window
manager, but I find it to be a lot easier to use than Ion because
ratpoison uses a prefix keymap. It's kinda like screen. I use F11 as
my prefix key so that all of my Emacs shortcuts aren't affected.

Yup, I loved that book. =) How could I not? It featured OrdoEmacs,
"Finux", Perl... ;) Neal Stephenson is totally cool.
