What we need is a "mail" fstype that stores userids, mailbox
index, message counts, etc. in inode/superblock structures. Users
would be mapped to directories and individual mail messages mapped to
files within each directory. Imagine how easy something like procmail
would be to write? Or dealing with uuencoded messages? Then we could
do the same for a "news" fstype. :)
