For me there's another compelling reason and that's the ability to use MH
directly on a mail server which is primarily an imap host where the native
mail storage format is Maildir. Right now, my own mail store looks very
different
than any of my users because I use MH and they use Maildir. If I could move
my mail to Maildir then I could use the web interface or a PC mail client to
read my mail when I can't get to a command line or exmh.
Of course, I don't think anybody's completely thought through how to do
sequences in a Maildir yet, and those are important to me.
