The objective in this case was more immediate dispersal of a news article, rather than ease of configuration. I think both schemes of using Emacs as a message delivery agent constitute layering violations. Both solve problems in ways that would be unique to users of GNU Emacs, but don't offer any benefits to users of other interfaces (mh, elm, rn, gnews) to the same transport. However, this would be a good evangelistic tool... :-)
