Oh, my I feel that I am actually talking back in my goold old days 
at DEC (not going to say how long ago :) ).

I really think , that we  need a fine graphic oriented mail system. 
Not so much for people like you but for newbies. As for the 
bmake requirement if it keeps getting on the way of including software
into the system because people outright don't feel like making the
silly conversion then bmake should be extended to support other format
as well. In other words, the System should be working for you and
not the other way round.
