Emacs itself comes with several mail clients and a web browser written entirely in Emacs Lisp, but most Emacs users download a whole bunch of other files to extend their Emacs in strange and wonderful ways. For example, the Planner personal information manager is packaged in Debian as "planner-el", making it easy for people to apt-get install it. You can download .el files or tar.gzs from the Net and follow the instructions to install it and use it in your Emacs. But yes, you can do all sorts of crazy things inside Emacs! I think the only things I don't do with Emacs right now are browse Javascript-laden websites and edit pictures. Everything else can be done within Emacs, at least from the shell. http://www.emacswiki.org is an excellent resource. You can find out what things people are doing with their Emacs. Way cool. =) -- Sacha Chua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - open source geekette http://sacha.free.net.ph/ - PGP Key ID: 0xE7FDF77C interests: emacs, gnu/linux, personal information management, CS ed sachac on irc.freenode.net#emacs .
