Why? Unless it had to know about SMTP itself, which would restrict its
usefulness (and require that you configure a mail server for it), it
would have to use an external program for delivering the mail
_anyway_. Why not use a real mail client, then? Whatever the way used,
AWeb needs to have at least one configuration option for it, and the
current methods leaves the least code into AWeb, and is the most
flexible. This obviously makes it the most desirable method to me.

Hmh. I don't 'rape' anything, including FTP sites.. While I agree that
supporting both links to files AND likns to directories without
internal support is hairy, I like the idea of using FTP-Mount for FTP
links (I'd like it more if I could manage to make FTP-Mount work with
I-Net 225). What's more, it is faster, since FTP is a protocol that's
very unsuitable for a Web browser's way of working.

TIN blows chunks, IMO. I use Gnus on the nearest GNU Emacs 19.30
available, which happens to be an IRIX machine at the university.

I use Voodoo with with a combination of mouse and keyboard, because
that's the fastest way I can use any program as long as those are the
two interfaces available. It doesn't seem to be hard to use, but that
may be because I designed it so that it would be fast to use for me.

Because you may have to scroll messages left and right. Pictures do
not word wrap.
