Customization is always a problem in the Emacs world since Emacs Lisp
is too hard for beginners. Actually I hope that Mew will be able to
provide an easy-to-customize mechanism like recent windows-based
applications in some days.

However, such a mechanism has low priority. My priorities are:

	- real multi-lingualization
		* eliminating 7bit restriction for composing
		* non-ISO-2022 charset (like Chinese Big5 and KOI8)
		  for Summary mode
		* multipart editor
	- Virtual mode hack
		* including thread

These work will take a lot of time, I guess. If someone will design
and implement an easy-to-customize mechanism in meantime, it would be
highly appreciated.
