Definition of "folder"

1998-09-28 03:49:51
I figured the FAQ (and eventually, even the documentation) could
benefit from an explanation of what exactly a "folder" is. I remember
grappling over this myself when I was new to Procmail, and as I
recall, there have been a couple of questions about this on the list
as well. 

I wrote up a short definition for the FAQ, but I'm kind of unhappy
with it. So I'd like to ask for help on this one.

    Write a good definition for "folder" in 50 words or less.

    Wonderful prizes. I'll include your name in the FAQ, at least.
  <timetable>
    Soon. Thanks.

One idea I think I like, but don't have the time to do right now, is
include a short appendix with some brief tips for people who would
like some kind of more or less scientific method for finding out what
format a mail folder is in. (Somewhere in the FAQ, I would like to
have instructions for figuring out your MX host(s), too.)

Any help would be much appreciated,
