While I like the idea of a single message access protocol, news and mail
still seem different enough to me that I cannot envision using IMAP in
it's current state as *the* reader protocol.
I have probably spouted this before, but I think the best course of
action is to let IMAP and NNTP develop seperately and simple let the
best protocol emerge.
