This is a good point. I wonder if Tobias' feature belongs in a future release of nmh, where we'd have time to discuss things like the fascinating question Earl brought up: what about IMAP? I had a few major questions and concerns in my own long reply. There's a lot that nmh needs to do to catch up with changes in the email world since MH was created in the mid-20th century. It would be a *real* shame to break nmh's programmability, or some feature that's useful but obscure, by not discussing and testing it thoroughly. Once people start to use a new feature, there'll be resistance to backing out a poor implementation and (re-)doing it right. I'm not saying that Tobias would implement something poorly, just that it's hard to get very new and fundamental changes right without lots of thought and testing... Ken, is it too soon to start a development branch for nmh-2.0 (or 5.0 :)? Jerry
