But times have changed, and it doesn't work well with new stuff like dropbox.
And dropbox is not a typical directory in the filesystem. If you use a
service that explicitly makes files publicly available you shouldn't be
surprised when it does what it's advertised to do.
MH – quite reasonably – assumes UNIX filesystem semantics. In particular, it
assumes the permission bits are honoured, and it uses those bits to protect
the file from public scrutiny. If dropbox chooses to ignore the permission
bits, that's hardly MH's fault.
making this always be ~/@ rather than ./@ would fix this, even on
dropbox systems, wouldn't it?
