[Alpine-info] Alpine Questions

[Mark Crispin]

As distributed by UW, Alpine does not support the maildir format.

Your copy of Alpine has apparently been modified by a third party that 
added maildir support, presumably via a driver in the c-client library. 
Many of the individuals who make these types of modifications read this 
mailing list, so I hope that whomever wrote the maildir driver that does 
this will be able to answer your question.
