*Shrug!*  Sending email from my tablet is a minor convenience for me, 
especially as I tend to use it in places where there's no WiFi when I'm 
away from home.  (When I'm at home, I borrow bandwidth from a neighbor's 
unsecured router, and try not abuse their unwitting hospitality.)  It's 
an excellent ebook reader and that's it's main function.  And, to keep 
things separate, I created a special email address for it at my own 
domain that never gets checked from any other computer.  That keeps it 
off of all of my mailing lists so that I never waste bandwidth with 
redundant quoting.

Please note, btw, that the primitive editing isn't a function of the 
email program.  The UI's input function has no arrow keys and moving the 
cursor other than by backspacing is very hit or miss, at least for me. 
Possibly, as I use it, I'll learn better, but it's still early days. 
I've no idea if there's a Usenet program for it, but as I'm only 
interested in text groups, there's no reason to look.
