Every little task does not have to be in a separate binary. Esp. when

Erm, be readable for one case. Also let me be able to, dunno, click on it
and be right where I need to be.

No, you said you're way faster than me. If you think 25Mb is going to
make you way faster than me then... well...

You see what you, and others, seem to forget about the Unix philosophy is
that at it's core are these words:
The right tool for the job.
For the job I need them to do the MTA/MDA/MUA chain is *NOT* the right
