So you can't attach the file "yes"? This patch uses unclean in-band

Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't this one mean you're going to
lose "trash" information in maildirs?

This one has the potential to break quite a few things... If we
want the deferred execution, we should rather think about having a

Still interested. But your web page just says "no"...

I'd rather leave that one out for now.

I think I'd like to defer this one for 1.5.8. Please ping if you
don't see it included well before Feb 11.
