Now that message mode has become the default mailer in Emacs 23.2+
unless people are already using a mua that they like, it is highly
advisable to use Gnus, which although many people have been saying it is
intimidating, it is not.

It is intimidating only because it is like org, it can do so many things
related to email/news but you don't need to do them all at the
beginning. Give it a news server such as news.gmane.org then you can
start using it on browsing mailing lists of projects of your interest
including this one.
