What the heck is that supposed to do? Have you hacked Maildir support

Give us an example of what you'd like to do, and we'll show you how to
do it. Depending upon what you're trying to do, something like:
|command ... exit 99 ...
./Maildir
or
|command ... | safecat Maildir/tmp Maildir/new
should do the trick.
