But hey, why stop at emails? How about having
all source code, all other writing, and all
multimedia files in single files, as well?
Heck, why not compress the whole filesystem
into a single file, and then have a monolithic,
one-executable OS operate on that? Then, one
would be quite certain where everything is.
I mean, how could anything ever get lost in
such a wonderful architecture?

> Lack of features is not a problem Gnus has

Someone said Gnus is the longest program
ever written. That's true at least if you
consider the individual defuns in the source :)

PS. Nah, someone said earlier that Gnus is
    slow. Emacs Lisp is perhaps slow as well.
    This is the reason for the long defuns,
    modulizing 'em up would make it even
    slower.

    The reason for the plethora of features
    OTOH is the same as for Emacs, people just
    continued adding features, and they never
    stopped, and they never stopped, and they
    never stopped adding features. DS.
