RE: balsa...

["Fox, Kevin M" <KMFox mail bhi-erc com>]

one step further would be make balsa use corba... then when a program wants
to send a email message, it hands it through corba to whatever mailreader
you have set up.

All mail readers should look the same from corba so that the user can choose
to use balsa, netscape, or whatever.
