:) Yup, indeed. Why even use computers when we've got a life to live?
But I think the best way to determine if something goes in is whether
it adds something to the program which integrates _much_ better than
when used seperately. E.g. I don't want to to press 'q' to quit less
and I want to be able to press 'r' to reply immediately when seeing a
message: an integrated viewer adds something. Likewise, IMAP supports
adds something.
And no, I don't think mail is handled good enough by /usr/bin/mail to
handle my mail. With enough hooks and help applications, it might
become what mutt is right now: the best mailer [for me, at least].
