Ever since I moved to the machine with a faster disc, and a better
CPU, Gnus has become much more tolerable :)

indeed.  I also would love this.  Especially since I don't like to use
gnus on a terminal (feels like I'm not making effective use of space,
which mutt does quite well)

But yes, the nicest thing about Gnus from my perspective is "oh, it
doesn't support that? well, lets just hang this little lisplet off a
hook and bob's your uncle"
