It seems like things are getting overly complicatedwith the mail/news
thing.  Usenet is "news" and imap is "mail", at least conventionally.

It's great that nnimap now supports that feature, but it is a little
obscure, or at least advanced, so it seems that it may be overkill to
confuse the average user by changing the color of mail groups
(i.e. IMAP) to newsgroup colors and then proclaiming that their mail
is really now news.
