Currently, every mail lei indexes has a git blob associated with it.
I understand some folks might want to keep using their existing
storage and not have a redundant, expensive-to-erase copy of the
mail in git; but just want an indexing-only solution like mairix.
So, is this a feature worth implementing?

It still will. But we have PublicInbox::ContentHash::git_sha

At least for Maildir, IMAP, and NNTP where random access is
reliable and fast, it should be doable.

Since we have ~/.local/share/lei/store/mail_sync.sqlite3
nowadays, I think it's possible to make LeiToMail fallback
to retrieving from Maildir, IMAP, NNTP; at least. mbox
can be a pain since message offsets can change.

This is a public inbox, see mirroring instructions
for how to clone and mirror all data and code used for this inbox;
as well as URLs for read-only IMAP folder(s) and NNTP newsgroup(s).
