    toms> Under v18 my experience was that jka-compress worked better for just
    toms> this.

    This may or may not work with MH. MH expects file names to be numbers; the
    inclusion of the compression extension will probably confuse the MH
    binaries to no end.

This is one of several drawbacks to the MH approach that cause me to
think that it would be good to reimplement much of the MH
functionality inside Emacs.

Keep what's good about MH:

--> messages as files,
    folders as directories
    recursive folders

(I haven't seen any other pure emacs mail package that preserves this paradigm)
