I've said this before: The Right Thing here would be to do this as a filesystem driver. Said filesystem driver would read an IMAP server, and present it to the client as a system of MH-style directories and files. This would allow you to use any current and/or future MH tools on an IMAP server. Implementation is left as an exercise for the reader. ;-) On Mon, 24 Jun 2002, at 5:40pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Doesn't IMAP have commands to only grab headers and to re-file a msg?

No, you would only need to transfer it to the client. Once the client made the decision, it could simply move the message using IMAP commands. > Since exmh doesn't have direct IMAP support, it made more sense to run the > client on the mail server. I might argue it makes more sense to fix the mail client. ;-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
