NAME
maildir - safely write data to a qmail-style maildir
SYNOPSIS
maildir dir
INTRODUCTION
maildir is a shell script which invokes safecat. It is equivalent to
safecat dir/tmp dir/new. It saves a little typing for those who want
to use qmail maildirs, which have a fixed structure. safecat, on the
other hand, allows the user to have one temporary directory for many
spool directories. This is occasionally useful; some people don't like
to multiply the number of places which need to be periodically cleaned
up.
