Please excuse my blasphemous inquiry.  Has anyone looked at the GNU
project "mailutils"?

Yes, we (the MH-E project) have added GNU mailutils support so its MH
support appears to be complete. I haven't personally used it though.

I don't know if GNU mailutils would be a good next-generation nmh or
not. Perhaps someone might be able to expand upon this.

I seem to recall (an I may be wrong here), that mailutils did a
one-folder-per-file thing, instead on nmh's one-message-per-file.
I don't want to lose one-message-per-file, it's one of nmh's great strengths.
