Pls tell me why you think Mew should have interfaces to them. I have
not used them, so I don't advantages.

If you wish, I will provide hooks to make the former possible. Your
example implementation would be appreciated.

I understand that I wasn't fair. This discussion repeated on mew-dist
in the past but I don't know mails were archived at that
time. Moreover, we discussed it in Japanese, I don't know you can read
it, sorry.

In general, you can't protect your privacy on multi-user machines. You
should use a single-user machine without remote accesses.

You can do it. Set mew-temp-file-initial.

The contact point is img at example.com

Use info of elisp which is available from ftp.gnu.org.
