I just started using recursive folders in MH to organize my mail by
subject - I have 62 folders as of today.

I want to organize them as a tree, with only the folders at the leaves
of the tree actually containing messages.  So what I want is a way to
tell MH to not look for messages in a folder when it has found a
subfolder, and not look for folders in folder where it has found a
message.  Thus, the folders command would only have to look at one
file in the directory in order to determine if it (1) should read
every file, i.e. every file is a subfolder, or (2) it should just read
the directory, to summarize the per-folder data.

Is this possible?

I have a LOT of mail archived this way.

Also, is it possible to get MH to compress/uncompress messages
automatically?
