Re: [bug-mailutils] MH rcvstore program

[djh]

Sergery,

Since rcvstore is such an important program used by many web examples with MH &
fetchmail, I think that it would be a very good idea to mention in the 
documentation
that mailutils' "movemail" or "sieve" can do the same job as rcvstore  (meaning 
store mail messages in MH folders as MH mail files) and are more flexible and 
powerfull.

This would help all who come up with the same question in the future and keep 
us from having to answer it over and over, as Mailutils' MH takes over the 
world...

Regards,
  Darel
