Awesome, that will be an important thing to have in place.  

Another thing we should decide on soon is how to store configuration and
state variables.  I'm thinking about having the following directory setup:
~/.nimh/state/: Current folder, sequences for each folder, lock files, etc.
~/.nimh/config/: Profile, MIME config, replcomps, components, aliases, etc.
~/mail/: Folders and messages
/usr/local/share/nimh/config: Default configuration files

Naturally s/nimh/pmh/g or whatever.
Thoughts?
