Subject: mail-sources versus select-methods
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 13:13:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d3sju3sft5.fsf@news.eternal-september.org> (raw)


Undoubtedly an incredibly naive question but why would one use
mail-sources over select-methods?

Whats the history here?  Is it just historical? Or are the select
methods simply another layer provided by Gnus to smooth over the
message.el package?
