Here is a feature I wish Apple might consider implementing:
When Dovecot is compiled for Mac OS X and using Maildir,
have all mail files be written to disk with a dedicated OSType
(equivalent to the .eml extension).
This would make existing QuickLook generators and Spotlight importers
(e.g. I'm happily using http://www.mew.org/feature/spotlight.html.en ,
which works based on OSType) automatically available to index the
Dovecot Maildir.
[I haven't looked, but could this be a matter of modifying a single
write function in Dovecot?]
