I never expected to get a positive answer for my request...

It could be part of the default release but only activated by some configuration option. > The patch hacks the "unix" mailbox driver. Instead of "_" it uses > ".mail" as a "special" file name. I agree, ".mail" is more appropriate than "_". I suggested "_" since it's what my directory mailbox file is called right now (in order to be the first in the mailbox list). > The patch used to do the same for the "mbx" mailbox driver I use the unix driver.
