What's the worst-case for those using older software with assumptions? They see sub-folders, all ending in .mime, with no valid messages within them. Annoying perhaps, but not fatal. It could actually be useful, because parts that are valid messages could be linked to a valid filename for them to access. Making MIME directories dotted is a work-around, but that's a bit of an annoyance for things/users wishing to access to them, depending upon the languages available to you e.g; having to be sure to exclude . and .. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
