I remember someone wanting to use fP as an MUA.  I think it was possibly
(or even probably) on this list a few years back.  I also remember saying
it was a Bad Idea[tm].  I also thought someone eventually did start
dragging all their mail into fP.  If it wasn't literally ever done, it has
been suggested.
