Yeah, the implementation is huge part of the details, though. Unseen is handled special; every program would have to be changed. >> >> Also, what's the big deal with locking the sequence file, anyway?

AFAIK, the MDAs just pipe it into rcvstore, which does update the sequence. I am aware that procmail can write to a MH folder directly, but it can also just pipe to rcvstore. I'm trying to understand the use case where "use rcvstore" isn't an option, because it would require a LOT of careful surgery. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
