Internet Explorer, nor any other browser, is an e-mail client.

Wrong ! One example is Opera


You've never heard of bundling? Suppose you used Outlook as your e-mail
client. You think that it really supports NNTP (network news transfer
protocol)? If so, why do you think it opens Outlook EXPRESS to do
newsgroups? Opera's mail support is a *separate* client! I suppose you
think all those pieces in Symantec's Internet Security Suite or McAfee's
bloatware are all just one program, too.

Integration is NOT the same as substitution or replacement. It is a
SEPARATE mail client program (M2) that comes *with* Opera. "Built-in",
"integrated", or whatever still means it is a separate program. Just
because a common UI might be used doesn't make it all one program. If
that were the case, everything you install is part of one huge program
because it is all accessed under the one UI called Windows.
