Fair enough, this might indeed make it easier for people to > try out. That certainly was the goal. Richard made a suggestion which I will implement shortly that automagically check for an existing Rmail/babyl formatted PMAIL file which it will then convert to mbox format. This will make trying out Pmail event easier. > I don't see why you wouldn't just take the existing ChangeLog from > that branch and install as ChangeLog.pmail, rather than instead > creating two odd directories with CVS info that I doubt anyone will > ever read... Good idea. Done. I committed the info directories just because Rmail/mbox has a history of people working on it and then disappearing (including myself) for years at a time. So I wanted to have some mechanism, albeit temporary, to capture what was done and not done to bring Rmail/mbox up to date. Thanks, -pmr
