I realize this. Gems are awesome and gems suck. I'm talking about
the matz ruby interpreter itself. In some instances, not only would
the user need all of the gems, but they'd need a 1.9 ruby too...that a
big commitment to run a mail client.
[As a side note, Debian/Ubuntu do package many of the gems, but it's a
round hole, square peg affair.]
Thanks
