Wasn't tm abandoned 1998 or so?  I hope that some parts of SEMI that
we managed to get copyright papers for, will be moving into Emacs as
part of Gnus.  For example PGG (part of Gnus 5.10) and SASL (hopefully
will be part of the next development cycle of Gnus).  The main problem
with SEMI code is that it is assumes APEL.

Generally, I'm not sure there is much in tm/SEMI that is not already
supported by Emacs, via Gnus or some other package.  Do you have
example of some practical benefit (i.e., feature-wise, visible to
users) adding SEMI to Emacs actually would have?
