[Ifile-discuss] Re: Maildir format

In a previous message, I included a script to add an ifile-specific
header to each file in a directory, one mail message per file.

   Right.  What did you have in mind to add to each message?

   Correct.  Maybe this isn't on track with the rest of the thread,
   but I've found it's much faster and simpler to handle mail using
   a batch approach.  Only one thing at a time is ever touching these
   files, so locking isn't needed.
