A little while ago now Arthur pointed me at colobus[0], which is the nntp
server that nntp.perl.org and news.php.net use.  It's really quite
nifty, and all that good stuff, but it expects to get ezmlm archives.

I read through the colobus sources and got to
Email::LocalDelivery::Ezmlm[1] quite easily.  I now have a small
stumbling block, there's no standard way to indicate that a mail
folder is really a ezmlm store just by the pathname.

The ones we do know (from Email::FolderType following in the
footprints of procmail):

  /mail/foo    # mbox
  /mail/bar/   # maildir
  /mail/baz/.  # mh

Anyone know of one suitable for ezmlm, or want to invent one?  

One which works out to be just another way to say "that directory" as
foo/. is would be just groovy.
