If there is one thing that I would like to recognize DJB's contributions of mindshare to Internet community was the development of the Maildir format. He combined the useful and flexible MH format -- one file per email -- and removed file locking issues by giving every email a unique name[1]. I plan on implementing Maildir/ delivery with our new email server (if ever I get that far). That being said, I LOVE my nmh[2] email client for quickly scanning my mailbox w/o having to drop into some eye-candy MUA. nmh works best with the MH mail format, and doesn't understand Maildir at all. It's email management symantecs rely heavily upon the filesystem. Additionally, nmh isn't nearly as easy to use as mutt[3]. So, I have a love-hate relationship with all email management. ;-) References ========== 1. http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html 2. http://www.nognu.org/nmh/ 3. http://www.mutt.org -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
