Perhaps so, but my impression is that it uses various features that are only in message-mode, so mail-mode and the generic mail interfaces would have have to be buffed up quite a bit to make this possible. One thing Stefan pointed out, BTW, is that message-mode has better mime support, in particular, it supports mime attachments. I use these a _lot_, and my impression is that many other people do as well (mail-mode supports a sort of ad-hoc attachment function, but it's basically just `insert-file', and far less useful than real mime attachments). -Miles -- The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. --Albert Einstein
