Subject: [PATCH 2/2] doc: lei-overview: favor Maildir for mutt examples
Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:41:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210331004109.32610-3-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210331004109.32610-1-e@80x24.org>
mboxes are generally horrible for interactive read-write use due
to locking. Describe our parallel behavior with mutt, since
writing mail can take a long while and being able to read
results as they're written is nice.
We'll also use a gzipped mboxrd for the import example, since
we can decompress gzipped mboxrds automatically, now.
