My &quot;tips and tricks&quot; include how to read email and RSS&#x2F;ATOM feeds in Emacs, which I do using Gnus.<p>In fact, reading email and RSS&#x2F;ATOM in Gnus is also a tip&#x2F;trick, since it was originally written (in 1987) for Usenet.<p>I&#x27;m not at all saying that others should use Emacs for their email. I&#x27;m pointing out that Emacs customisation can involve far more than &quot;basic editing functions&quot;, and that these customisations can continue working for decades.
