Sounds like a good idea to me. Parsing 25 megs of mbox mail takes about
1:10 under average conditions with my K6-2 500. I had tried pronto for a
bit (with mysql support), but I really love balsa/fetchmail/procmail and
came back to it. Anything that can be done to reduce the amount of time
spent creating the clist or in mbox_parse_mailbox() in libmutt, would be
*greatly* appreciated.
