I have a question on public-index-watch v. public-index-mda; sending to
the list since I might not be the only one.  I've seen a couple of times
that you recommend public-index-watch for maintaining a mirror of a
mailing list whose home is elsewhere.  But I would rather use
public-inbox-mda since that doesn't require keeping a duplicate maildir
around that's just wasted space.

So I'm wondering: is there a reason *not* to use public-inbox-mda for this
use case beyond the rather aggressive filtering that it does?  If not,
would you entertain a patch to make that filtering optional?

Thanks,

jon
