That’s right. Useful if you find yourself needing to automate an email
task using shell scripts, but not much more. There are nicer ways to
write that same automation inside Emacs already, so I doubt there would
be much call for it. On the other hand, I’m sure someone can think of a
use for the RTSP support.
Similarly, there are features that libwget has which can already be done
in Emacs, such as parsing HTML and CSS.
