The VM stuff is out, as Kyle Jones refuses to sign his code over to
FSF, and this is neccessary for being included into the GNU emacs
distribution (as Gnus is meant to be).

I haven't looked at SEMI, but I belive TM is more complex than what
larsi aims for.  Also well integrated native MIME support will be
designed differently to MIME support that is meant to work for a
multitude of MUAs.
