Subject: MH support

I notice (contrary to a statement in tech-notes) that there is no
support for MH format mailboxes (i.e. no initialization of the mhdriver
in pine.c or imapd.c).

Am I foolish in wanting this facility ?
My main problem is that the imapd daemon becomes a memory hog on
my 'normal' flat file folders, would it use less memory with MH folders
(or does it still need to read in the entire contents of each message
even to displaying the index of messages ?)

Brian,

The MH driver included in the Pine 3.89 distribution was a semi-functional
read-only contributed driver that we had no way to support.  However, the
latest IMAP toolkit (mail/imap-3.3.tar.Z on ftp.cac.washington.edu) included
a full, supported MH driver.  This driver will also be included in the
upcoming Pine 3.90 release.
