Hello,
I have been trying to fix a patch for maildir for Pine, and while
thinking about this I recalled that support for Maildir in Cygwin (e.g
Mutt) has been discussed a couple of times. It seems to be that the only
thing stopping people from being able to use it is a agreement on the
format of the name among the different programs that do maildir.
Explicitly this means to deprecate the use of ":" in the filename. I've
been testing the maildir patch (for Pine) and changing ":" to ";" works
perfectly well, so I was wondering how compatible is this with other tools
designed for maildir. I am not advocating for the use of ";", I am asking
the questions as to "Can we agree to use something different than ':'?"
and "Can we use ';'?".
Thanks for your feedback!
Eduardo
