I don't know if that inherently is the idea of technology, but I agree
that it is an admirable goal.

Often it is wise to choose a tool taking into account both the job at

Some tools are better suited for some people and vice-versa.

As you know, Gnus is free, so anyone is welcome to implement such
features.

In my minimal configuration example earlier, you saw what is 'as
simple as it gets', these days.
