do you know the mail-sources variable of gnus?  i would like mew to
include this feature in mew.

i can imagine the following format:

  (setq mew-config-alist '(
          ("legacy"
  	 ("proto"          . "+")
  	 ("inbox-folder"   . "+inbox")
  	 ("fcc:"           . "+backup")
  	 ("mailbox-type"   . mbox)
  	 ("mbox-command"   . "incm")
  	 ;("mbox-command-arg" . "-b -d /root/mail/INBOX.spool -i /root/mail/inbox")
  	 ("mbox-command-arg" . "-d /root/mail/INBOX.spool")
  	 ("signature-file" . "~/.mailsignature")
  	)
          ("admin"
  	 ("proto"          . "+")
  	 ("inbox-folder"   . "+inbox")
  	 ("fcc:"           . "+backup")
           ; <<< this is proposed format! >>>
  	 (mail-source '(
  	    ((type . mbox) (cmd . "incm") (cmd-args . "-d ~/mail/INBOX.spool"))
  	    ((type . pop3)
  	      (pop-server . "remote.host")
  	      (pop-user . "okidoki"))
  	    (mbox (cmd . "incm") (cmd-args . "-d ~/mail/spam"))))
           )
  	...
        )
  )

i hope this is clear enough.  for example, i have an entry in
mew-config-alist for every mailbox the MTA filters mail to, but with
this notation i could collect several sources into one case.
