Restricting my reply to one tiny bit of your mail: You wrote: > non-recursive is the only thing that makes sense for Maildir++ folders
Either I'm not understanding Maildir++ folders, or I don't agree with you. I might have an email archive that looks like this: Maildir .work .project1 .project2 .etc... .family .dad .mom .brother .etc... With the above setup, what would be unreasonable about wanting to search for all work-related messages (across all projects, say) with a string like "folder:work" ? Now, a person might definitely want to search for messages in the ".work" folder directly, (not including the sub-folders), so we should provide support for users to get at that behavior as well, (such as a proposed "folder:work$" or so). To me, both cases are perfectly legitimate, and I don't understand an argument that claims that only one makes sense. (Or again, I may be misunderstanding something.) -Carl -- carl.d.worth at intel.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
