As $ convention was never documented, I don't see this as a problem. If both clients use the keywords in the same way, Junk/NoJunk versa $Junk/$NoJunk is just an aestheticchange. Besides, AOL IMAP server supports Junk/NoJunk and doesn't support storing of arbitrary keywords. > It would be useful to know the exact semantics of the Junk and NotJunk > flag usage in Netscape and Apple Mail.

If anybody from Netscape and Apple are reading this mailing list, can the person drop me a note? > I've been trying to find the right > people at Apple, but haven't had any success (yet).
