Hmmm... :-)
BTW, you made me curious: is there a (safe && simple) way to convert
from mbox format to maildir? I keep a lot of email (almost everything,
in separate folders, and also 5-8 MB in my inbox), and wouldn't mind
giving maildir a try, as long it's reasonably doable.

Apparently I need at least exim 3.0x for this, so I'll have to upgrade
one of my systems for that, but in the meantime it looks like it does
the right thing! Maybe this could be added to the docs? Perhaps with
the appropriate warnings or a reference to that html link in my other
message?
