I have an idea: Let's have two different modes, a simple mode called mail-mode and a complex mode named message-mode which has more features. People who like simplicity can use mail-mode and people who need more features can use message-mode. How does that sound? :-) > message.el is also 8000 lines long, where sendmail.el is under 2000 > lines. I expect that sending attachments won't require more than 200 > lines. I think it's clear that message-mode contains more features over mail-mode than just attachments. A humble request from a user: if some kind of code reordering or merging of the modes takes place please don't cripple message-mode's current features too badly.
