https://github.com/dickmao/gnus does just that. It's about a 3500
line change. Perhaps 1-2 years from now I will make a concerted
effort to merge, but given,
1. the changes are not true multithreading, and 2. gnus users,
being of a different generation, are generally content to manually
retrieve and block,
I give the integration less than 50% chance of seeing the light of day.
