Yes!  Those of us sold on NeXTstep, and GUIs in general, do NOT want a stupid
VT100 emulator running a cryptic newsreader with it's own set of 'commands' to
memorize and type in. However capable that command line reader may be.

Yes, there's a lot wrong with NG.  Perhaps it's time to do a Mime version.  But
a GUI interface beats a command line one, hands down. At least in my opinion.

As to mime vs NG format, RTF is RTF, I don't think a conversion to mime is
going to make the plain ascii only crowd any happier.
