Some day, on elsehow designed system, maybe
But I will give you a little description:
$MAILUSERAGENT
$POSTSCRIPTVIEWER
$NEWSREADER
these would be *a little* useful, but much less
than $EDITOR, $PAGER or $XTERM. But if you have something
that >10% users would use we should support it
$EDITOR is surely such think. About $PAGER and $XTERM opinions
are divided
$MAILTRANSPORTAGENT
$XSERVER
$CCOMPILER
$FILELISTER
$FILECOPIER
$FILERENAMER
wouldnt be used by unexperienced users,
no user-side difference
really little users would need them
