Comments about Emacs mail

[despen]

This is a comment to any emacs email interface developer.

Emacs has a great choice of mail interfaces.
The 2 I'm currently using are GNUS and MH-E.

(Yep, I'm undecided.)

The other biggies I've heard of are VM Mail, and Rmail.

My comment is that GNUS and MH-E seem to have too little
code in common.  It would be really nice if they shared
message composition.

Also it would be nice if there were more key bindings in
common.  A lot of things they do are the same (like refile,
delete, refresh mail list), it seems to me a little care
could unify some of this.

Lastly, most workplaces have gone to 100% Exchange with it's
obnoxious "top posting" style.  It took me a while, but
I managed to create a binding for MH-E that replies in
Outlook style.  (With the ---original message--- junk.)
Seems to me that's become a required email feature.  All the
emacs packages should support both reply styles, but as far
as I can tell, none of them do.  (Except the one I hacked up.)
