[nimh-dev] things I want


Things I must have:

1. Maildir support in inc: I won't be able to use what we create without 
this. On the upside, it should be almost trivially easy to support Maildirs.
2. Preserve MH's storage model (messages are files, etc.)
3. A fooproc mechanism (like in .mh_profile) so that foo can be replaced by 
a script or have nonstandard default arguments

Things I'd like:

1. forw should use the subject of the forwarded mail, if it's only a single 
message being forwarded
2. Reply to all except self
3. If what we make isn't a drop-in replacement for MH---which would prevent 
me from using exmh on top of it---then we need to write a GUI. The 
number-one thing that irritates me about mail client GUIs is that I can't 
take all of the GUI components and arrange them precisely how I want. If we 
write a GUI, then I want to be able to arrange the message, folder, and 
folder list panes in any orientation I please, e.g., stacked vertically, 
horizontally, two side-by-side and another in th column below, whatever.
