Thoughts I've had over the years... MH was handy because it integrated with the Unix command line and filesystem; I still awk, etc., ~/mail/inbox/* on occasion when nmh's commands don't suffice. That's good; I don't think nmh should grow every bell and whistle. MIME breaks this. If all textual parts were stored in UTF-8 on disk things would improve once again. Perhaps even a mail/inbox/42 for a UTF-8 summary of the email, headers and the body laid out as text where possible, and a mail/inbox/42/... with the headers and each part as a separate file, including sub-directories where needed, e.g. ~/mail/inbox/42/foo.png exists. Plan 9 had something along these lines. http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/4/upasfs The other thing would be a single name for the email with links implementing folders/tags. That backups think a lot has changed when a folder is packed is a flaw. Possibly in the backup software, I'll admit. I don't see these fitting easily into nmh but thought I'd throw them out there whilst there's list activity. :-) Cheers, Ralph. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
