GNOME will not present to the user information that he will not be able to process. It will warn, for example, when hardware is failing and this can be clearly diagnosed, but showing raw syslog entries sounds like one of the less useful features to implement. > I do know many of the GUI MUAs are incomplete jack-jobs that fail to add > a handler for local system folders (i.e. were only partially ported to > Linux).

If there is a sysadmin who has configured local mail on the system, he can also configure a default account for local users (evolution allows that, I would be surprised if kmail would not), but this is no longer a widespread pattern, and it does not make any sense to make it the default. -- .''`.
