Right or wrong, I get subject lines that are encoded using RFC 2047 rules. I know you think of those as 'foreign languages', but that is wrong; they are just 'characters'. Also, if you talk to anyone younger than 25 you're going to be getting a fair number of emoji. It's fair to say that you don't care about that stuff, but I think as younger people get older they are going to consider things like emoji as 'normal', and it's something that we have to deal with. Again, it's fine if you want to just send and receive email between old farts, but I would kindly suggest that's not appropriate for everyone. >Glad to hear it.

We had a big discussion about them based on Jarrad's work with his MIME hooks (we had never really laid down how locking was supposed to work with them). >I'm a bit confused here.

I believe Paul is saying that he wants to have the command-line power of nmh work on mail stores he shares with other MUAs. To me, that is an admirable goal. It is KIND of true that a subset of MUAs can sort-of operate on a MH mail store, but that's only true if basically you disregard any sort of support for sequences and locking. And I don't see that support becoming more common, as MH/nmh isn't getting many new adherents because of (among other things) lousy MIME support. From where I'm sitting, the two major mailstores in use today are Maildir and IMAP. Paul would be happy with either, since he has access to his IMAP mailserver which uses Maildir as it's backend storage, but I think it would be great if we could do both. I understand this may have no particular interest to you; that is fine, but in my mind there is a clear need. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
