I'd like verification of that. I remember my first run in with unix back
in my Netcom days. Even then screen was around. That was 10 years ago.
If, and that's a big if, emacs were able to do the semi-virtual CLI thing
prior to screen (specialized tools and all that) I'd think it wouldn't be more
than a year's lead.

And yet we still, in today's day and age, have people pointing others to
gnus as a viable mail client. Hate to say it but if gnus were so wonderful in
today's day and age it would be split out so everyone could use it, not just
emacs people. I understand that gnus takes a lot from emacs internals but
that is certainly not insurmountable else we'd have a far smaller
proliferation of clients.
