The futility of dealing with the Gnus interface to mh forced me into nnml, and I have no desire to switch back. After having dealt with both nnml and mh-e, I don't see much need to encourage use of mh-e. It's terrible^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hnon-graphical and clunky. A better use of resources might be to eliminate mh-e support and add some stuff to nnml to replace it. All that would be involved for that would be to maintain an mh style unseen sequence file, and a reliable rebuild overview file function per folder. The latter is done right? I see compatibility with an mh front end like exmh as being more useful. You can use nnml with exmh as is, the only thing really lacking is keeping the mh unseen records up to date.
