Totally awesome. =) Welcome to the club! Search the archives for more tips from 
GTDers.

Gnus is good. my.gnus.org has a few tips, and http://www.emacswiki.org
is also a great resource.

Load planner-gnus.el and set up remember-planner too and that'll take
care of the notes/tasks/e-mail connection. You can use M-x
planner-annotation-as-kill to put a link to the current buffer in the
clipboard, or you can just go ahead and create a task (M-x
planner-create-task-from-buffer) or note (M-x remember). For best
results, bind those commands to keyboard shortcuts. <grin>

Totally. =) I love being able to create hyperlinks to mail messages!
