Having marks as separate files is more concurrency-friendly, for programs that all use this scheme (right now, that just means concurrent Gnusae): when one program alters one piece of information (say, a mark), it does not make it harder for another program to find another piece of information (say, the message contents). I posted this idea to one of DJB's lists, but didn't get much response. > The only reason I could think of is that Gnus has more marks than > some other MUAs/imap servers There's that too. > I think I once heard about a script (perl, IIRC) that did some kind > of sync between both systems, but I can't find it again. paul
