I know that there are people who do everything in Emacs -- email, software development, diary, contact list, off we go. I understand that Emacs contains a Lisp VM, so in the end you could even write your private version of Doom on it, given a decent enough underlying platform (I guess 10GHz PVI would do ;-). But why do you expect to be able to do everything in your mail reader? Especially, why do you think that a mail reader is a good tool to manage software development process? I know that you probably attached yourself to thinking of the mail reader as a software development management tool, but that's just one of nonsensical things that barebones CVS installation forces you to do and I doubt there's anything more to it... It makes about as much sense as complaining that you have to switch away from your mail reader to play Quake. What does game playing and software development management has to do with mail reading???
