I have been trying to fix a patch for maildir for Pine, and while thinking about this I recalled that support for Maildir in Cygwin (e.g Mutt) has been discussed a couple of times. It seems to be that the only thing stopping people from being able to use it is a agreement on the format of the name among the different programs that do maildir. Explicitly this means to deprecate the use of ":" in the filename. I've been testing the maildir patch (for Pine) and changing ":" to ";" works perfectly well, so I was wondering how compatible is this with other tools designed for maildir. I am not advocating for the use of ";", I am asking the questions as to "Can we agree to use something different than ':'?" and "Can we use ';'?".
Thanks for your feedback!
