I don't think this one should go in Recommends, and not even in
Suggests. Not everyone is using evolution, and gaim isn't even part of
the default GNOME installation. Even for evolution users, not everyone
is using it to send loads of attached files.

Furthermore, email is the wrong medium for sending files; there are much
more appropriate protocols for that. We shouldn't encourage users to use
email for transferring files.
