But very few people will like to have 3 packages (Emacs/Gnus/BBDB) to download, compile, configure, ... before being able to simply use mail. I liked to be able to type M-x gnus from a newly installed Emacs. Then, if distributions (like Debian and Mandrake) like to split Emacs and Gnus in several packages, then, why not, because the distribution itself provides integration. -- Matthieu
