second, message numbers are currently file names. if we succeed in
abstracting things correctly, they might refer to imap objects some day.
in which case i suppose that mhpath will emit imap: url's?
I've often thought that in hopefully-not-too-distant future when we had
IMAP support, something like this would happen:
% echo `mhpath 5 8 12`
/tmp/.imapcache/88932 /tmp/.imapcache/92861 /tmp/.imapcache/1034785
Or whatever ... you get the idea. mhpath would fetch the messages
in question and put them somewhere local and return those pathnames.
Sure, you could give a flag to mhpath to make it return IMAP URLs,
but if we did that then I think we should return URLs for all
messages.
