Well, web browsing is reading text from a server retrieved via the Internet, so
we'd better add web browsing capabilities too. Oh, and you can send text to a
server by FTP as well, so we should throw that it. You see? Feature creep.

E-mail and news use entirely different protocols -- NNTP vs SMTP/POP3
