OUCH!  Yeah, that settles it...not a good idea at all.

It would have to be done in java plus the Android SDK.  That's the
main reason why I thought it might just be an absurd idea....  Add
the pain trying to use vi (or vim, for me), and I was right about
it being a completely absurd idea.

I guess I should just hope that someone who knows far more about
Android development than I do might add threading, lists, and so on,
to K-9.

Oh well...never mind.  :-)
