Request to Improve ( fix in my opinion )

[jdh]

gnu mailutils MH suite is excellent, but one program the 'inc' has the bad 
specification that it read not only mail requested, but also mail for the 
default user.

Why is this bad...
    1.) inefficient computing
    2.) invites misplaced mail which can and does go unnoticed.  This is really 
bad if it is
        important mail.

Explanation:
   I loop through say 10 e-mail address to collect mail from various sources 
and lists.

   a.) Done properly (in my humble opinion) this would involve 8 calls to the 
MH program 'inc'.
       BUT it fetches mail at least 15 times if not 16 because is always not 
matter which
       mailbox is specified always ALSO fetches mail for the mail user.  So it 
is processing
       needlessly for the  user's probably empty mailbox.

   b.) The problem of missing important mail works like this.   The loop goes 
through joyfully
       fetching mail for each specified mail recipient, but is also fetches 
mail for the main
       user and stuffs that users addressed mail into the wrong mailbox.  This 
can and does go
       unnoticed.  I've missed several important messages due to this.

I'd like an 'inc' which only inc's for only specified mailboxes.  I want to get 
mail for each
box only once in a mail fetching loop.

Is this doable.  I can't think of any reason to not improve the design of this 
MH program to do what (I believe) is should do.
