OK, having just looked up how MH does it, I am horrified anyone would design something so awful. Changing mail sorting by renaming the message files? That's insane. :)
I can say for certain I will never ever consider the use of MH.
Lennart, I have been using Sylpheed and MH format since July 23, 2003. At least, those are my earliest email files. I have no complaints. A separate file for each email makes it easier to use grep to search your email archives. I recall liking the mbox format. I had things set up so that I could launch pine, balsa or kmail, depending on my mood. I found that Netscape would delete emails by setting a flag that the other email programs did not recognize. -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca jhowardgibson@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
