mix format



I was a little interested in the mix folder format that Mark Crispin
came up with for the new version of Imap and (al)pine. Right now, I
think c-client is the only implementation of it; he says that all other
implementations should just use c-client rather than implementing it
natively (though I'm guesssing mutt would want to implement it
independently of c-client, though I imagine some code could be
"borrowed" without any license violations)...

Is there any interest in supporting mix format in mutt? The idea seems
interesting to me - it's kind of a hybrid of Maildir and mbox - there
are multiple messages per file, but they're broken up into smaller
chunks. This seems to me to address some of the problems with both mbox
and Maildir (though it might open up some other can of worms). Any
thoughts?
