  | I think you're confusing interface a little with implementation.

Not at all, it was purely the interface I commented on.   The significant
point (once more) was that MH alone (that is, what comes with the MH
distribution) is only a part of the whole MH environment - which is
everything the shell offers.

I can't speak to your comfort level, but accessing the files directly
is necessary for some usages, and definitely part of what MH offers.

  | Besides, doesn't
  | MH already have support for alternative storage formats?

No.
