I switched to nnml from MH quite some time ago, but there are a few
things about MH that I miss and can't quite duplicate them with Gnus +
nnml.
1. Message sequences.
2. Picking messages based on patterns in their body or some header
field.
3. When I periodically delete some mail, I can folder -pack to
renumber all the messages. With Gnus it is a lot more painful.
