I had the same thought yesterday, after an Emacs-Lisp session in which I was trying to get Gnus to do exactly what I wanted it to... Out of curiosity, how much work would it take to write an easily configurable, decent MUA in Haskell? I don't know too much about MUAs, but I have a feeling that we already have quite a few libraries that are needed for the job: UIs (including HTML rendering...), plugins, various protocols, encryption... -- /NAD
