I hope if they consider this they do it as plug-ins. I hate to see
great software get bloated with "features" that stray from the
original

The HTML viewer is a great example. I would use it but many in here
wouldn't. If it was a plug-in (sold separately?) That would deal with
all my HTML mail whether I was creating it or reading it, that would
satisfy the many IMHO. Same with NNTP - I might get that plugin too. I
would skip the RSS plugin as I don't want to read feeds in The Bat

From the ritlabs website it seems that this was in progress at one
point although most of the plugins listed were either pointless or are
gone. The plugin schema is worth revisiting
