Sound's awfull but what I mean is a tool to integrate several activities
in one place. It really works.

Even if I don't write *code* in the Gnus process I still work a lot with
Org and hiccups would disturb me here too (if not more, when I code I
probably watch the screen and think more than I type). However, I code
in the same process I Org because I take notes about coding with Org
(org-remember/org-capture) and use Org as my personal bugzilla. No go.

There is probably an option, however, `g'-ing when idle. Because I like
the Pomodoro Technique[1] so I take break on quite regular basis. Gnus
could check mail after few minutes if idleness.
