howdy,
sorry to disappoint, but i don't have any patches to distribute on this.
most of the fixes were the result of extremely unscientific 'mucking' that
i would probably not want to distribute (for example, at one point i
deleted the mbox driver from the source tree entirely to get the Maildir
used, even though the Maildir driver was specified as higher precedence).
even in the 'fixed' state, the behavior is still sub-optimal (each Maildir
shows up as both a folder and a folder of folders in all of the clients
i've tried--some special exclusions of 'new', 'cur', and 'tmp' would need
to be written to change this behavior.
as far as i can tell, this issue simply wont get fixed properly until mark
crispin (of UW) decides he can stop hating DJB long enough to formally
incorporate the Maildir driver (i really dispise technical decisions made
on personality grounds).
so, in short: no patches here. just ill-conceived hacking that mostly
works but would be trouble for anyone else.
sorry,
todd underwood
