Hi Paul,
i just don't know whether MH can attract new users through a rewrite.
That wouldn't be the aim. The aim would be for the existing users to
have a code base that allowed more rapid, stable development of new
features, deprecating old warts, and improving consistency.

whittle down emails whereas having a consistent, planned, notation that
can be used wherever a message number can be given would lessen the
iterations a lot. `seq=-3' is nice, but I can't do `seq:-3:2', for
example. And overall it's warty, so warty no one replied to my
