A)
Support for gzipped (or maybe bzip2'd) files would be very useful.
I see this as being ideal for someone who keeps
lots of old mail but may not always need as ready access to it as
other folders i.e.
packf -file foo +Foo
gzip -9 foo #Good compression here with multiple concatenated files
msh foo.gz
Et voila!
B)
What about / is it possible (nothing in man folder) to specify
the base number for messages to pack to in a folder?
Say I want message in folder Bar to start at 314, and not 1?
(If it helps, think about later wishing to restore a pack'd
folder to merge old and new contents, preserving order)
C)
The ability to repack by message date. I've got a perl script
that needs a little tweaking to do this... But it might be useful for all,
and worth implementing in the package? If not, is there some central place for
sharing scripts?
PS>
If you're paranoid you might want to disable EXPN in your mail server,
esp. since it doesn't do anything useful like show list members ;-)
