Just because you're one user does not mean every potential user/customer shares your wishes. Lots of people would put DTP or CAD before mail (plenty of good mail clients already, remaining problems server-side not client-side). And anyway you can't sanitize/optimize code while integrating boatloads of new features. Next release focus is "optimizing" so don't expect whole new components in this one. -- Nicolas Mailhot
