Would it be *extremely* difficult to make mush recognise a
different folder structure: instead of a folder which is a
text file containing many messages, the folder will be a
directory in which each message resides in a seperate file.

I am currently dealing with the problem of reducing multiple
storage of messages; a mailer which recognises the folder
format of one-directory-one-folder one-message-one-file, will
enable a scheme using hard links, in which a message which 
seems to be in many different folders (of different users 
even) can still reside only once on disk.

BTW, are there mailers around which already work like this?
