Why on earth do you want to put all these things into single
application? I would rather have two optimised applications that can
talk to eachother then one single application. One reason is that each
project would be smaller. The other is that when I use a web browser I
don't want to be forced to also have its mail reader installed as I
might want to use some other program or visa versa. At the moment I use
Galeon (a web browser only) which uses the Mozilla redering engine.
