Notoriously resistant to (for practical purposes, afraid of) change.More emacs.

Recent Emacs thingies
I started using gnus at work.
Started using emacs-snapshot-gtk package (from Debian). And a win32 build of emacs 22.0.50 at work.
Wrote some elisp to send multipart alternative (for html mail and plain text). This needs some fixing though; It does not put the content-type for the plain text part and many mail clients would not would not show the plain-text content.
Learned about putting window configuration in registers (I could not stop telling people about it for a couple of hours). Now I don't use frames (at-least I for the reason I had before this piece of learning).
I am all sold out on Emacs.
HTML Mail
BTW, do not think that I am for HTML mail. Its just that the M$ outlook and many other clients (and Gmail) show plain text in variable width fonts (when I want fixed width font to show off my ascii-art signature). They say HTML mail is rude.
Recent findings
Just found that the 'netiquette guidelines' is an RFC ! and that (mail) clients are supposed to assume the 'default' Content-Type (which is text/plain with us-ascii encoding) as per RFC 2045 (Sec 5.2 - let me know if I did not read it enough). I wonder why that Thunder-bird was not showing the plain text alternative in my gnus made mail. The only problem that is apparent is the absence of Content-Type.
OT: Scott Adam's blog is here.
