I used to run gnus on a 486 with 8MB, so I can sympathize. And it's
understandable for those you just don't like emacs. I have to admit
that even though I think it's the best, there have been times when I
have had to let certain aspects "grow on" me. But I am surely happy
that I have made this choice, considering that it leads to
sophisticated and powerful ways of working. Clearly the resource
arguments against emacs and gnus are losing quickly in a time of
rapidly falling RAM prices (< $1/MB).

This is yet another reason to use a good mail or news reader. Gnus has
nice keystrokes ready to go:
F,f,R, and r
for
Follow-up and quote, follow-up, Reply and quote, and reply
If you want the ultimate in power and flexibility (after all, why are
you using GNU/Linux in the first place?), go with gnus. Plus it will
encourage you to learn emacs. Henceforth, you will be transformed. :)
