Well, that is the whole advantage: to have all communication under one roof, one interface, one method/arena of configuration (i.e., Elisp/Emacs), etc. It is nothing that should be resigned over either paranoia or self-doubt. It also leads to new possibilities. While not necessary it is a pleasant game to seek out such mini-adventures. They keep you active. For example, I often write posts to newsgroups and then I include the e-mails of friends as well (the To: header) which I know are somewhat into what is discussed but do not follow the newsgroups anyway. (To include them is lightning-fast because of the aliases in the .mailrc file.) Then Gnus inserts a small message saying it is a curtesy copy of a newsgroup post... To get the "other" header in a news as well as mail setting, do: (setq message-default-news-headers "To: ") (setq message-default-mail-headers "Newsgroups: ") > All is well which ends well.
