Hi Elliot -
Thank you very much for this suggested patch.
For my information, is the "--" any sort of convention, or was it ad-hoc
on your part? I find it difficult to believe that this is the first time
that this has ever come up, and I'm hoping that you can point to other
applications that do this as well.
For what it's worth, I generally use something like ~/-foo, although that
can have problems if your site sets mailsubdir. So I'm inclined to adopt
your proposed patch.
Another possibility is to have a -source and -destination switch that
takes a following argument (regardless of "-") so, e.g., you could say
something like
mailutil check -source -foo
as opposed to your patch of
mailutil -- check -foo
I don't know which is clearer/more conventional.
