I think we're all with you on still trying to find the 'perfect
solution' :)

I approached things in much the same way that you now do (with WinXP as
my platform) - I used emacs for editing, Outlook for
Mail/Calendar/Contacts, Outlook Express for News... but once I
discovered the way that Planner links in with mail/news/diaries, I've
switched all those things to emacs :)

I find my workflow much improved; the only thing I miss is not being
able to sync BBDB (address book) and diary with my PocketPC under
windows (ironically, I think it's supported under linux :)
