Hey August!

> So, basically you list your messages with ls?

As of this writing, all incoming is dumped into a single file with individual 
msgs occupying a line.  Thus "wc -l" incoming.file will yeild the number of 
msgs in the file.

Each msg (line) contains five fields; $DateTime\0$To\0$From\0$Subject\0\$Body\n

> And I suppose you can't display msgid-relationships for navigating a

Yes.  kludges are part of $Body and are easily be 'grep'ped from that field.  
They stick out like a sore thumb given the leading '\1' character.  However I 
could easily be convinced to putting kludges into their own field.
