Hm, yes, that's true...

That's possible, but these things always turn out cleaner and less
breakable if "applications" (like rmail) call libraries, instead of the
libraries extending the "applications".
And checking is always possible, but the user interface is often better
and less fragile if the applications can just rely in the infrastructure
being there.
