Although Tim's idea seems more obvious, I'll argue that my suggestion is the more useful one. You can already get the "connected directory" behavior by having a reference that ends with the hierarchy delimiter; this is what clients which use the reference for a connected directory do now. But suppose you want a parallel name to a selected mailbox. My suggestion gives that. Tim's just duplicates the "connected directory" behavior. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate. Si vis pacem, para bellum.
