There are a couple of pretty good arguments for e-mail/usenet to be one app. Not the least of which is that you may be replying by e-mail to a usenet article, or cc'ing by e-mail while posting. Moreover, in terms of processing/parsing/etc, there is a certain amount of overlap in things like how headers are managed. That said, I can't think of a good combination e-mail/usenet client that I've used since the days I used something built into emacs. Thunderbird's usenet client was horrible and at this point, I like Apple's Mail.app a lot better than TBird, too (that wasn't always the case). Why anyone wants his web browser to also be his e-mail client and/or FTP client, I do not know.
