Re: [Dovecot] Slightly OT : Maildir format (silly) questions

Hello,

I was asking what was the motivation for not having the envelope From in the Maildir format, as defined in the qmail spec :

"The message is delivered without an extra UUCP- style From_ line, without any >From quoting, and without an extra blank line at the end."

which may sound silly since we lose an important piece of information.

People who believe by hart "Maildirs do not require locking." and "Maildir is a faster and more efficient way to store mail." could do plenty of really strange things ;)
