As someone that has only looked into mairix a few times but not used it, I'd find the pointer helpful, I think. >> Using MFOLDER rather than PATH as the metavariable seems a bit confusing >> to me because the target isn't a directory for --format values other >> than "maildir". > > Fwiw, mairix uses "mfolder" for mbox and IMAP destinations, too; > (I've never used IMAP with mairix, but have every intention of > supporting IMAP in lei). > > "LOCATION" may also be a suitable placeholder *shrug* Oh, IMAP destinations. So PATH isn't a great choice then. In that case, switching to MFOLDER or LOCATION as the placeholder sounds fine to me. I guess MFOLDER would be good at this point for consistency with `q --help'. I've made a note to do that when updating the lei manpages (hope to get to that tomorrow or the next day) assuming you haven't handle it before then.
