4) In terms of alternate mail stores, be they Maildir or IMAP (I think
those are the two major candidates now, right?), I think those ideas
are interesting. The #1 problem with those ideas is how to map MH
message numbers (which can range 1-MAXINT, with holes) to the internal
key used by those mail stores; everything else is relatively easy
to deal with.
I can't quite tell if by "alternate", you meant optional. I certainly hope
so.
I am not proposing that we replace the current MH mailstore with Maildir,
if that's what you mean. You should still be able to use the traditional
MH mailstore (and we'll keep that the default) for the forseeable future.
I am saying that we have people who want to use the nmh tools with both
IMAP and Maildir mailstores. So making the nmh tools work with those
mailstores would be useful.
