> Just use Gmail and spend the time on something more worthwhile. The die-hards who still, in 2020, complain about HTML email are just wrong and absurd. Contrary to what they say, HTML email is very useful for discussing code: e.g. the ability to send well-presented syntax-highlighted code fragments for discussion is helpful, not a hindrance. > Really, I feel the same way about projects that insist on doing development by email. Wait. HTML email is useful for reviewing code, but you don't like when code reviews are done over email? Which is it? I see no reason for HTML email to exist, but I've stopped trying to fight that. Emacs is far superior to any email client for editing text. And so is VI for that matter. I've used a setup to send emails from Emacs (but not receive/view them). For that, Mutt and something like Notmuch are far more useful. Even today, even though I mostly use Outlook (because management, I have no excuse if I miss a meeting because my client didn't properly parse the Outlook invite), I still find it useful to compose long emails in Emacs and then just paste them on the editor. I do agree that a full email setup on Emacs can be a waste of time for most people.
