Hmm. I think of that as more of a closed source trick. Back in the day,
one *never* got best of breed packages from a single vendor so mixing and
matching was a necessary part of using closed source. And OEM preloads
generally were (and mostly still are) complete crap. So instead, you get
one package from one vendor, another package from a second, and so on.
Inlcusion of a mail client could be used as a marketing trick, but then so
could any other type of package. It's probably not as important (though
it could be for some) to actually bundle something as it would be to just
tell about it. e.g. "OOo - fully compatible with Thunderbird mail!"
