Lennart,

   I have been using Sylpheed and MH format since July 23, 2003.  At least, 
those are my earliest email files.  I have no complaints.  A separate file for 
each email makes it easier to use grep to search your email archives.  

   I recall liking the mbox format.  I had things set up so that I could launch 
pine, balsa or kmail, depending on my mood.  I found that Netscape would delete 
emails by setting a flag that the other email programs did not recognize.

OK, having just looked up how MH does it, I am horrified anyone would
design something so awful.  Changing mail sorting by renaming the
message files?  That's insane. :)

I can say for certain I will never ever consider the use of MH.

RFC 4890 explicitly says some types of ICMPv6 must not be filtered.

They are:
- Destination Unreachable (Type 1) - All codes
- Packet Too Big (Type 2)
- Time Exceeded (Type 3) - Code 0 only
- Parameter Problem (Type 4) - Codes 1 and 2 only

They also suggest echo request/response should be allowed.

Anyone that filters the first ones will break IPv6.  Some ISPs are
unfortunately that crappy.

Yeah I started using maildir years ago too.  One file per message,
super fast, works with almost everything.  mbox is awful, and I have
never even heard of mh format so how common can it be?
