161: How do I make Emacs automatically start my mail/news reader?
  
  Example:
  
    emacs -f gnus                                                            -
  
  Also:
  
    alias gnus 'emacs -f gnus'
  
  It is probably unwise to automatically start your mail or news reader from +
  your .emacs file.  This would cause problems if you needed to run two      +
  copies of Emacs at one time.  Also, this would make it difficult for you   +
  to start Emacs quickly when you needed to.                                 +
