Would it be *extremely* difficult to make mush recognise a different folder structure: instead of a folder which is a text file containing many messages, the folder will be a directory in which each message resides in a seperate file. I am currently dealing with the problem of reducing multiple storage of messages; a mailer which recognises the folder format of one-directory-one-folder one-message-one-file, will enable a scheme using hard links, in which a message which seems to be in many different folders (of different users even) can still reside only once on disk. BTW, are there mailers around which already work like this? -- Ran ----------------------------------------------- Reply-To: crehta@taux01.nsc.com (Ran Ever-Hadani) Disclaimer: The above is to be attributed to me only, not to any organization.

I don't know about MUSH, but something like this is in the works for VM, a mail reader that runs under GNU Emacs. In the meantime you should look into the Rand MH mailer. I believe its default folder format is one message per file.
