Re: [Nmh-workers] exciting new stuff for 2.0 (IMAP proposal)

If I had a need for IMAP support, I would sooner consider writing a FUSE
module for an IMAP filesystem. It'd have more chance of working with
scripts written around MH because non-MH commands would work.

Short of a grab only mode in inc I'd be against cluttering all the nmh
commands with IMAP details.

See, it's this attitude that makes me say repeatedly, "If you want to
do IMAP in nmh, just do it and commit it before anyone finds out".  It's
the only way it will happen; if people just _talk_ about it, all of
the naysayers will start screaming and the interested party will go
away, as it's happened a half-dozen times before.

(I think I've seen 3-4 different architectures for doing IMAP in nmh, all
completely different.  Clearly people have very different ideas on how
IMAP should work).
