I've gotten MicroEMACS to work inside of one (albeit slowly, when
running the "tm", the MicroEMACS, and the X11R3 server on the same
humble 3/50; the X11R4 server did much better), at least to the limited
extent that I tested it.  There may well be problems I didn't bump into.

Yup, but that just means more UNIX UMAs than just "messages" are a
little scary to those of us with

	auspex% ls -l /usr/spool/mail/guy
	-rw-------  1 guy       3327379 Jul 28 15:44 /usr/spool/mail/guy
	auspex% from | wc -l
	    1500

(and I don't think I could get a disk to myself on the NS5000
upstairs...).
