I discovered Doom Emacs a couple of months ago and it made me use emacs more often again. Doom Emacs is well made and makes configuration of emacs a lot faster and easier. I've noticed that a lot of file types have support from an LSP server and setting that up is also easy. Long time ago, I used to read email using wanderlust on emacs. I remember I really liked it, it was very powerfull in handling email and it had really good imap (and offline) support. The only drawback was related to handling html email. Back then that was not that much of a problem because I used it for a lot of mailinglists which were typically text only, and the remaining email was often sent in both a text and a html version. Anyone using email in emacs and has a good solution to deal with html email? Both receiving and sending? I kinda remember reading about people writing email in markdown and have it converted to html when sending it out.

Mu4e can render HTML e-mails in Emacs (using Emacs’ shr render engine). Works well enough for most cases. When it doesn’t, there is a command for opening the message in your browser of choice. Re sending HTML: I personally think it’s a bad idea and don’t do it. But I think it‘s possible to write e-mails in org mode markup and them have them automatically converted to HTML. Probably easy to build something similar for Markdown, if it doesn’t exist yet.

  You can indeed write an email in org-mode and convert it to html before sending it out: https://github.com/cashweaver/dotfiles/blob/main/config/doom/config.org#config-5 https://github.com/cashweaver/dotfiles/blob/main/config/doom.... I think this is the write-up I pulled these functions from: https://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2016/10/29/Sending-html-emails-from-org-mode-with-org-mime https://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2016/10/29/Sending-h...
