I don't use Gnus for anything other than news (and I read very little of that nowadays). But I'm on IRC using ERC and I run a second emacs instance just for that, while my main instance is where I live most of the time: maybe a second emacs instance would work for your use case? > - I wish Emacs to be able to actually render HTML in a buffer (w3m not > a valid option under Windows at least) > Under Linux, w3m is usable (just barely) but like all text browsers, it works better with text-heavy pages without too many bells and whistles: certainly not a substitute for a full-blown browser.
