Of course, it definitely is necessary. I'm concerned about _outside_ poking around _inside_. Bad idea. While it's always been easy to do with mh, I don't see a need to encourage it any further. And I'm willing to help make it less necessary. > i fought mh locking bugs for years That's my point :-] > because my .forward went to a perl script that ultimately > ran rcvstore, while cron was capable of running "pick" at > any moment.) Would a don't-modify-any-internal-nmh-state switch to pick would have solved that problem? Assuming it was specified, of course, but compared to locking that's not a disadvantage. And if the machine crashes while it's executing pick with that switch, no harm.
