i consider MH's basic mailbox format to be flawed in a MIME world for
which MH was never designed or redesigned. every attachment should be in
its own file, even if that meant that messages were directories no
longer files themselves.

note, i know we can't do that and i know why. i am not proposing it.

Some Plan 9 guys have explored this aproach:

It should not pose a problem to modern filesystems to have that many
directories.
