Doing so also allows you to share configs like TOR proxy for your RSS feeds, which you can't with say GNOME Evolution. Sure you can string together a bunch of xdg-open stuff to be a bit more unix-philosophy, but I'm ok with a big homogeneous application. It makes sense to me to integrate internet browsing and email client, for example go to a website you can easily click to subscribe to the RSS feed, which then creates a subscription in Seamonkey Mail.
