Here, are we talking about an "interaction" interface (composing etc.) or a search interface, or both? I *love* the Emacs Gnus interface which is the same for accessing mail, Usenet and mailing lists as NNTP newsgroups. Look, here is the same screenshot once more! [1] In general I don't like web interfaces (or web programming) and certainly not when it handles stuff you use every day. However *search* might be the exception that confirms the rule - makes sense, a web interface to the web, right? I suppose the reason I never look into or found the Gmane web archive is I always found the posts I was looking for thru Google, which led me to the mailing lists own archives. But wait, shouldn't that interface be uniform as well, just as the access points? I suppose, but it is a somewhat rare case and I'm fine consuming information with Emacs w3m. It doesn't have to look exactly the same every time. [1] http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/figures/gnus/gnus-group.png -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
