[bug-mailutils] maildir for mail.local

[Jeff Williams]

I am interested in adding support for mail.local to deliver to maildirs 
by adding the required methods for a maildir mailbox, but mail.local 
seems to be fairly mbox centric. It escapes all of the lines beginning 
with 'From ' and writes the message to the mailbox's stream. To support 
appending messages to a maildir using this stream interface I would have 
to do some pretty funky things in mailbox_open and mailbox_close to 
handle the creation of the new message file in the tmp dir and 
subsequent renaming into the new dir. I was wondering why mail.local 
doesn't use mailbox_append_message to add the new message? The 
performace hit of having to create a message object?
