qmail can use either mbox or maildir -- but from what I've read, maildir
was introduced by qmail. (and qmail's docs include a small rant about
mbox and why we should all switch to maildir. ;-) maildrop is
unrelated; it seems to be somewhat like procmail -- it does filtering,
and can store messages in either mbox files or in maildir directories.
I have a question which is somewhat related to the original message. If
I want to operate on a large block of messages (say, 200-1000) -- how
can I do so? Without holding down the 't' key, that is ... ;-) I'm
hoping there's a tag operation which operates on a range of message
numbers; but I haven't found such a thing in the docs yet.
