Maildir and Cygwin

[Eduardo Chappa]

Hello,

   I have been trying to fix a patch for maildir for Pine, and while 
thinking about this I recalled that support for Maildir in Cygwin (e.g 
Mutt) has been discussed a couple of times. It seems to be that the only 
thing stopping people from being able to use it is a agreement on the 
format of the name among the different programs that do maildir. 
Explicitly this means to deprecate the use of ":" in the filename. I've 
been testing the maildir patch (for Pine) and changing ":" to ";" works 
perfectly well, so I was wondering how compatible is this with other tools 
designed for maildir. I am not advocating for the use of ";", I am asking 
the questions as to "Can we agree to use something different than ':'?" 
and "Can we use ';'?".

Thanks for your feedback!
