POP3 and SMTP...

Hi,
I've got a hack similar to Rich Pieri's nnmail-pop3-movemail to
get pop3-movemail working with nnmail.  The problem is that my
spool is set up like this:
(setq nnmail-spool-file
      '("/var/mail/dhunter" "po:atlserver"))
Nnmail tries to use pop3-movemail to do the standard mail as
well, of course.  My cursory glance at the code suggests that a
fair bit of nnmail.el would have to be rewritten to support
different movemails for different spools.  Could this go on the
requested feature list ?
I've also got a hacked version of smtpmail.el from Emacs 19.34 to
work with message.el in XEmacs 19.14.  Are there plans to merge
smtpmail functionality into Gnus ?   Will message.el become the
standard mail mode in time ?
Cheers.

If Lars doesn't do this, I'm sure someone else (maybe me) will; I
sketched one idea for doing this a while back which basically creates
mail spool backends, and I'm not the only one to mutter about doing
similar changes in the next development cycle.

I definitely will be writing something like this for Quassia Gnus
(unless someone writes it before I get around to it).
