Why!? While they share some technical specifications they are handled
quite differently.
Look at the unix world. Pine does both mail and news. Most pine users (I
was one for the longest time) don't use it for news.
There are plenty of combined applications out there. If you really feel
the need, please, use them. Don't screw up this email client. After having
used 5 email clients extensively (IE, more than one continuos month at a shot)
in my internet career (pine, pmmail/2, pmmail98, mutt, TB!) and evaluating
damn near every other one I'd really like, just once, to have a client I like
not have people push to have news in it. Pine has it in it, mutt users have
hacked it into it, PMMail/2 spawned PMInews (which flopped despite being a
kick ass news reader)...
