That's the dumbest thing I've read today. SMTP and NNTP are transport protocols - how your client handles the messages is entirely up to your client. I used Gnus for a long time and it makes essentially no distinction between mail and news. I had several "topics" with Usenet and IMAP folders intermixed in alphabetical order and there was no visible difference in their appearance. If you've used bad mail clients, then it's time to find better ones. -- Kirk Strauser
