Yup, I could write an MUA, then there'd be scope for a bug, I bet. The problem with that is that the post to which I replied posited that local delivery agents could interfere with mutt's use of headers for internal purposes. That's an entirely different discussion. ... > If you use mutt to do the conversion, I'd expect flags to survive. I would > not normally have any specific confidence that another tool would do so. Yup, mutt's good stuff. But the post which I queried posited that LDAs could magically mangle headers which mutt does not insert until _after_ delivery. It is not least the time-travel component which my post queried. I do not think that you have addressed that with this new topic of MUA comparison. Erik
