The `msg' being referred to is the one in the MMDF distribution. The ._
file is otherwise known as the "binary box". It keeps track of the location
of each message within the mailbox, and the status (read/unread/deleted/etc).
The major flaw with it is that the disk addresses aren't in network byte
order.. (soon to be fixed..)
BTW, the name change from msg -> elm was at my insistence... But that was
years and years ago.
