Is there any > way someone could get RMAIL working with Maildir mailboxes? I have thought about this in the past, but I don't think it would be possible without rewriting RMAIL to a significant degree. RMAIL can be seen as a major mode for mbox files, and translating that onto Maildir would probably turn out messy if backwards compatibility is to be maintained. It would probably be better to create a new client, that might use Gnus code, but tries to provide a Rmail-like interface (and not trying to abstract over all possible news sources, but just limiting itself to email). I started writing code for a client like this some while ago, but gave up because Gnus is good enough for me. > The only thing I could find on the matter was a blog entry[1], but the solution did not seem complete.
