Miguel does have a point though. GUI apps don't play together as well as
command line apps in Unix. What annoys me is how it's very difficult to
invoke my mailer (exmh) from within Netscape. It involves a shared
object I haven't got around to trying out, and it doesn't carry over
information like the link I want to send. Or my news reader, for that
matter, maybe some people prefer to read things in trn instead of NS. I
can invoke Netscape from exmh messages, but that is only because
somebody (JamieZ?) had the foresight to put the -remote feature in
Netscape, and the exmh hackers worked it in, and still it's a
non-optimal way to do it.
In a previous life I got MH and rn to play together very well, but this
GUI stuff has thrown a spanner into interoperability.
