The question is, are users going to want to do searches that treat
them as a natural group?  I think they are.  And I think the label
we apply to the group has to focus on their messaging functions.
That label may be a little out of date, but it's certainly no worse
than talking about "floppy disks"! 

It's just a suggestion, though - the one leftover I didn't bother
mentioning even when I went through my gripes list a month ago.
