% It seems Gnus reads MMDF, but doesn't write it.  Gnus does IMAP,

Ahhh...  It reads anything and writes only its own (well, OK, mbox);
urgh.


% though.  But then I'd have to set up an IMAP server :-|

Heh :-)

% Possible, although Gnus tends to be a very well-behaved MUA.
% Maybe I should ask in a Gnus forum?

That certainly wouldn't hurt.

Interesting.  I suppose the acid test would be to let mutt convert a
Maildir to an mbox and see what it does :-)

% Yes, I think so.  FWIW, Gnus uses the Date header when it

Makes sense; I'm still a little confused on the logic behind that one.
