  I agree, I am happy with Gnus for email.

  and I strongly agree here too: Closure already works quite well, and
  is a type of application that it would be useful to be able to
  customize. Unfortunately, the code base is not easy to jump into,
  and I'm not sure that Gilbert has much time to spend on it.

  I have a set of patches to run Closure with CVS McCLIM and a CVS
  CMUCL, if anyone is interested.

  Closure home page:
    <URL:http://www.stud.uni-karlsruhe.de/~unk6/closure/>

  Closure screenshot in CMUCL:

  Closure patch against current CVS:
