short answer from my side.... NO

a) news might be oki but nothing else
b) aol ??? we kickban all aol users on efnet because they are
   dumb so why add features for them?
c) icq i dont even have an account so why use icq there are
   many powerfull freeware clients to use.

i also dont want to have balsa getting bloatened. if you like bloat
you might be wrong with balsa. i am a happy and proud balsa user an
i am always happy to see how much efford the programmers (usually 2-3
of them on top) investigate into this to serve us with a usuefull
product, i really must thank them. i always look forward seeing balsa
getting better with each version. so why the hell should balsa be fucked
up now with senceless crap like AOL and ICQ ?
