i'm ok with that. disk space is cheap. the index can keep copies of the
content. the mh hook system can keep them in synch. unless you have
multiple terabytes of stored e-mail you'll never feel the cost of the
second copy.

i don't see how to support indexing on a read-only mail store if we're
interleaving the files. while bboards may be long gone usenet is still
out there, and imap too.
