Try common sense - try Google!

Hehe, you usually keep recommending O'Reilly books (the bat book, etc.). I
can't really see how you have been using Unixoid systems for long, and never
stepped across neither Emacs nor Gnus?

O'Reilly got two books and a pocket reference on Emacs:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/gnu2/
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/gnupr/
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/gnuext/

And you can find the Gnus website here:

http://www.gnus.org/

As I said earlier, when asked for the best editor: Emacs is the answer. And
so ofcourse, Emacs contains an email-reader (and a newsreader) - it is
called Gnus. It also got webbrowser, irc, Palm syncronization, address book,
todo-lists, and a lot more.

You start it by these commands:

emacs

M-x gnus

(the last part means Meta-x gnus. I.e. press your Meta key while pressing x,
and enter gnus and press the enter key)

If you're in a hurry, you can also start up Gnus directly:

emacs -f gnus
