I'd be interested. nmh appears to be under a BSD-style licence, so it
should be okay to adapt; I rather like certain nmh-isms, like ``repl
-group'' that obeys Mail-Followup-To.
Yes, I'll join the mailing list. I must get to grips with how MH works,
but after that it shouldn't be hard... I hope. You say Maildir MH is not
trivial; I'd like to find out why.

Writing to a Maildir is trivial; I've written a Perl script to do it
(yep, I saw your page for safecat too). I wrote mine before I heard of
safecat, and before procmail 3.14 (which had Maildir support), but it
has a forwarding feature, so that if the ``mailbox'' contains a @
character the message gets forwarded.
That last feature is so that you can do this in a .procmailrc:
SENDMAIL=${HOME}/bin/deliver
SENDMAILFLAGS=
:1
* Delivered-To:.* qmail@list\.cr\.yp\.to
!qmail
and not completely botch the use of ``!'' for forwarding.
The script is at http://pub.hedgee.com/scripts/perl/deliver; I use
syscall() to get fsync to work in Perl.
