:) That's where this thread started. I do indeed use MH mail, as well as
front-ends to MH like Mew, GNUs, xmh, etc. And I really miss vmh. However,
MH is not reliable; concurrent deliveries can destroy .mh_sequnces and
(I've heard) can clobber messages.
I want to put together a CLI which uses maildirs as folders, in the
spirit of MH (but not necessarily a clone). I posted to this list to
see if there was any interest. There is a little, but not as much as
I'd rather hoped.
"Maildir MH" is a non-trivial project; it will be a failure (in my view) if
it doesn't fully support concurrent folder access. Anyone interested in
discusssing the subject can join the mailing list; send an empty message to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and follow the directions in the
reply.
