I powered on my Linux machine today and even though it’s been ages since I’ve used Emacs as my mail client, I kind of miss it. I mean, I don’t, not really, but the nostalgia is there. Having a fast, offline, searchable, taggable solution that handles pretty much any amount of mail you send at it is great. The problem is that I can’t have that whole system sync with my phone. Which is a problem. The second problem is that my wife hates plain-text email. Something I worked around with Markdown and multi-part messages, but felt like a chore.

While there is certainly tarnish on macOS, I don’t feel like I’m missing anything especially critical in Linux. I still love it, though. Feels super responsive and modern.
