Thanks for the suggestion.  I have no tried that.  I'm running it on
Windows.  It would not be a five-minute operation to compile it on
Windows to try this out, but I would look into it if you motivate the
idea better.  Why would Maildir support work if we compile it with
--with-mailutils?  Why does the GNU EMACS allow us to try Maildir
support if it was somehow not compiled to be able to?
