Just as being able to store both plain files and directories in directories is
stupid?
I've got exmh/nmh setup such that every one of my folders contains both
messages and an 'old' sub-folder which has messages more than 2 months old. I
find this to be a useful way to move older stuff out of the way. Certainly I
could have qmail and qmail.old instead of qmail and qmail/old, but I don't see
that it's necessarily stupid to have half as many folders at the level above.
