   Remember the reason this whole issue came up.  Someone complained/asked
   about the Status: header and Karl replied by saying that it's "bogus"
   for the UA to add these headers to messages.  Yet in reality, that is
   exactly what MH is doing, so he defeats his own argument.

No, not quite.  I said that it's gross.  More precisely, grotesque, I
suppose.  I still think so - anything that has to keep hacking on my
mail file(s) after delivery (regardless of whether it's "all in one
file" or done piecemeal in individual message filess) is doing
something grotesque.  I don't use MH, so I can hardly be accused of
defeating my own argument.  My UA is GNUS for both mail and news; what
minimal status I require is maintained in my .newsrc.

PS- So who's singing about this anyway?  "verses?"  Oh, you meant
"versus..."
