What do you mean by that? We can open mailboxes. Say, how do you know _which_ message you want to open, for a human eye Maildir standard message names are totally intransparent: Dec 7 23:03 1575756185.M687232P19377.kent:2,S Dec 7 23:03 1575756185.M687231P19377.kent:2,S Honestly i would not know. Technically the problem is both hard and easy. We would need to invent an entirely new protocol, and implement it everywhere. You would then need to use that protocol when opening the file, something like this #?0|kent:tmp$ mail -Rf maildir://tmp/md mailx: Not a maildir: tmp/md #?1|kent:tmp$ mail -Rf maildir:///tmp/md mailx version v14.9.15. Type `?' for help But, dear Viktor, not now. I really, really would like to have the MIME etc. rewrite handy, so that you could use "-t TEMPLATE" and that TEMPLATE could be a readily prepared multipart message with HTML, for example. Not in the next 12 months, sorry. But i hate to say that! Because one of the nice things by then will be that there will be no technical difference in between opening the file via -f or sending a message template via -t!!
