Hi Paul,

What specific mime related features do you have in mind?

i'd like to provide the MH view via FUSE rather than files-on-disk.
rather than using command line utilities to extract a mime part, i
want to access it by ~/Mail/inbox/135/part1.exe or whatever.

Right, like http://man.cat-v.org/plan_9/4/upasfs

hold onto your hats because i'd also like to do this even for imap
mailboxes which are not present in my file system at all, and Maildir
mailboxes which are present but not in the format MH thinks they are.

OK.  I think past mentions of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace have been rebutted
with non-portability.  That Wikipedia page now says `Linux, FreeBSD,
OpenBSD, NetBSD (as puffs), OpenSolaris, Minix 3, Android and macOS'.

Would it be presenting a read-only view of the master storage, and that
storage can still be diddled with by any Unix command?
