[Emacspeak] Re: Plugin Recommendations Thread (2023 Edition)

I second org mode, if you're not already using it. I run my whole 
life in it, and wrote my dissertation in org.

I am a fan of Gnus, it's a maximalist newsgroup reader that works 
for email and RSS. It's not the easiest to set up, but it's pretty 
powerful, and it's great to have email set up so that you can save 
emails to TODOs in org mode. mu4e is the other big email client to 
take a look at in Emacs.

Tramp is a great utility for connecting to servers and 
manipulating files and folders with dired.

If you're relatively new to Emacs, I do recommend learning a 
little Emacs Lis. It's not well publicized, but there's a great 
built-in Emacs Lisp tutorial. You can get it with M-x info and 
then look for elisp.


Best,
Patrick
