But the trouble is I really hate the way new mail is handled in general, and what I would want to implement is the scheme I've been describing. It's a much bigger project. And as usual, I've gotten zero feedback from the maintainers about it. This is the underlying problem... the maintainers are unresponsive. > All joking aside, how hard would it be to get this to work with > mbox?

I haven't looked at the code for a while, but off the top of my head it seems that touching the file (or the programmatic equivalent, rather: updating the file times) would probably solve it. That is, it would make the behavior consistent. I personally still find the resulting behavior to be less than desirable. -- Derek D.
