Would you really want to write your emails in VisualStudio? ;-)

VisualHaskell can do this, *if* your program type checks. I'm hoping
in a later version that ghc can be made more tolerant of errors for
interactive use. Sometimes I want to know the type of something but I
have an error (such as an unfinished line) somewhere else in the
program. When this happens I often insert "undefined" in the trouble
spots just so my program type checks. After I double check the type
of something I go back to work and remove the undefined spots. This
is okay, but for every feature I like about visual studio I miss two
things from emacs (perhaps I just know it better).

Look at the eclipse plugin eclipse-fp. The main things I get out of
VisualHaskell these days are the automatic generation of my cabal
files and the updated COM library. I find myself using emacs and ghci
fairly often. Also, I'm getting to where I can hack my own cabal
files without much hassle, so really I'm just using it for the updated
COM library.
