Re: [Nmh-workers] Locking In Scripts and nmh Locking

To make sure I understand this, I will discuss only the the -all case, which is
all I asked for. (There would appear to be complex interactions between the
other cases; it would hurt my brain to understand them.)

The more I look at it ... it seems that -all won't work.  Right now the
users of locking are:

- Context I/O
- Sequence I/O
- Annotations
- MIME cache
- slocal (updating the duplicate supression database).

The first two are the ones we care about right now.

Context is easy, but the sequences are kept per-folder.  I'm assuming you
don't want -all to lock all of the sequences in all of your folders.  So
I don't think we can have -all.
