To subscribe by e-mail, you can use either:

• info-gnu-emacs@gnu.org: low-traffic, also includes announcements of new GNU ELPA packages, or
• Mailchimp - just Emacs News as either HTML or plain-text emails

E-mails to info-gnu-emacs@gnu.org include a plain text version, an HTML version, and an Org Mode version. If you are reading e-mail in Emacs (yes, you can read e-mail in Emacs) and you have mm-discouraged-alternatives set to include "text/html", you might see the plain text version, which is a little harder to read. Here's how to show the HTML version:

• Gnus: Check the Attachments: field at the top of the message for a button that includes "text/html". Use RET or left-click on it in order to show it.
• Rmail: Find the text/html part. Use RET or click on Show.

You can also view the HTML version on the web at https://sachachua.com/blog/category/emacs-news.

(Using something else? I'd love it if you could e-mail me some tips to add here! E-mail me at sacha@sachachua.com.)

RSS lets you read updates from sites that support it without using your e-mail client, which is handy if you find e-mail a little overwhelming.

To subscribe to the RSS feed, add https://sachachua.com/blog/category/emacs-news/feed to your favourite feed reader. Some Emacs options:

• Newsticker - built into Emacs

  • Here's what Newsticker looks like:

    

  • Setup:
    1. Use M-x load-library newsticker to load it.
    2. Use M-x customize-variable newsticker-url-list. Click on INS to add a feed.
       1. Label: Emacs News
       2. URI: https://sachachua.com/blog/category/emacs-news/feed
    3. Click on Apply and Save.
  • Reading news: M-x newsticker-show-news
• elfeed
• nnrss if you use Gnus

Non-Emacs feed readers work too, of course. =)
