Hi,

Some of my mailboxes became quite large, so I switched them from mbox
to maildir format.  I read quite a few mailing lists via nntp at gmane
with tin and save select articles into mailboxes in my ~/Mail.  Now
that I switched to maildir mailbox format, I no longer can save to
those mailboxes directly from tin.  I have to save to a temporary mbox
and then in mutt move the messages.  How much trouble would it be to
add maildir mailbox support to tin?  (Mailbox name completion under
$maildir, the directory, not the mailbox format would be awesome too).

Or do I miss something obvious here?  (I guess I can always pipe to an
external program, like procmail as an alternative)

TIA!
