 Bug fixes

   message that is written, when the target folder is not being

   Generating a low-level error in this situation is unacceptable.

-Design changes
---------------
-
-* Move pathname-completion code into the runtime system.
-
-* Rename the procedures that form the UI callback interface to make it
-  clear what their role is.
-
-* Repackage the code so that each file now in the core is in a
-  separate package.
-
-* Reimplement UID synchronization.  Take advantage of monotonic UID
-  numbers to discover largest prefix range that hasn't changed.
-  Binary search can be used which should produce excellent results on
-  large folders.  UID FETCH command should be useful for this.
-
-* Try to leverage IMAP MIME parser by building compatible
-  interface for file-based folders.
-
-* Change file URLs to follow specification in RFC1738, which requires
-  the use of forward slashes and encoding.  Take advantage of relative
-  URLs as specified in RFC1808.  Maybe change URL representation to
-  have a heirarchical path structure so that we can write MERGE-URLS.

 New features
 ------------
 
+* In M-x imail-copy-folder, default the target buffer to have the same
+  name as the source buffer, e.g. from "foo.rmail" to "inbox.foo".
+  [It may not be obvious how to do this as I'm not sure how to specify
+  the prefix "inbox." in a server-independent way.]

 * Set the IMAIL buffer's modification bit to indicate whether the
-  folder is locally modified.  Meaningful only for file folders.
+  folder is locally modified.  Meaningful only for file folders.  Hook

 * Optionally convert quoted-printable messages to 8bit for presentation.
