What exactly is the plan here? Do we want to address the duplication between mail-mode and message-mode or not? Isn't this duplication a bad thing? I think it is -- it confuses users and adds maintenance burden. Is adding layers and layers of poorly integrated leaky bandaids to mail-mode really the path we want to follow? Are you just saying "let's add this one function now and deal with the real problem later"? -Miles -- Hers, pron. His.
