  I'd vote in favor of combining the netnews and mail interfaces.  The
two systems are doing very close to the same things for many people,
and a uniform interface is only sensible.
  Given a vote, I'd discard "readnews" as a real lose.  We've  been
using 'notes' here, and it's wonderful.  Best is being able to scan
the subject lines for a newsgroup without having to "walk" through
them.
