Yes IMHO. It supports hotmail/netaddress/yahoo now. But: netaddress is a commercial service, and provideds POP/IMAP. As I know, yahoo/hotmail provides POP now. If webmail.el is to be removed, contrib/one-line-cookie.diff can be removed also since it's only for pacthing w3 (4pre46) to use with wembail.el. >> Gnus supports Emacs 22+ (am I right?) now.

I just checked xemacs site, and found out its mail-lib package has sendmail.el and smtpmail.el. So I supppose it wont hurt anyone.
