Aaah, and this is why I said earlier that both the monolithic and
compartmentalized approaches have their place. It's just that in the
windows e-mail arena, the compartmentalized approach to e-mail editing is
almost nonexistent. This is bad for those who *do* have use for a powerful
editor, one they have mastered, and therefore, wish to continue using it
in favor of basic editor built into their preferred e-mail client.
