The context issue (and a related client issue) is actually why I stopped using mh a while back. I switched professions and needed the email client on my phone to interact reasonably with the client on my laptop (or server typically accessed via laptop). For a while, I ssh’d into a server and ran nmh commands from my phone, but that proved to be reasonably painful and didn’t look like it was going to improve anytime soon (frequent if simple MIME content didn’t help).
I looked at a couple webmail systems (Squirrel is the name I recall, but there were a couple, including at least one home-brew), but the overhead of syncing status between the systems proved to be irritating enough that I just gave in to imap everywhere. This makes me happy to hear about a potential future mh (style?) interface to imap servers. I had briefly considered something like what Paul Vixie is (I believe) suggesting could be adapted from prayer, but at the time I thought the overhead of a personal mh daemon seemed like a dealbreaker. I had that initial reaction reading Paul’s mail, but since it’s relatively common for my laptop to run a few hundred processes while doing “nothing”, maybe that’s outdated thinking. Sorry for the ramble; mostly what I wanted to say was “interesting idea” and “I’m glad I’m still following nmh, even if I haven’t really used it in a while”.
