+ The mblaze message system is a set of Unix utilities for processing and
+ interacting with mail messages which are stored in maildir folders.
+
+ Its design is roughly inspired by MH, the RAND Message Handling System,
+ but it is a complete implementation from scratch.
+
+ mblaze is a classic command line MUA and has no features for receiving or
+ transferring messages; you can operate on messages in a local maildir
+ spool, or fetch your messages using fdm(1), getmail(1), offlineimap(1),
+ or similar utilities, and send it using dma(8), msmtp(1), sendmail(8), as
+ provided by OpenSMTPD, Postfix, or similar.
+
+ mblaze operates directly on maildir folders and doesn't use its own
+ caches or databases. There is no setup needed for many uses. All
+ utilities have been written with performance in mind. Enumeration of all
+ messages in a maildir is avoided unless necessary, and then optimized to
+ limit syscalls. Parsing message metadata is optimized to limit I/O
+ requests. Initial operations on a large maildir may feel slow, but as
+ soon as they are in the file system cache, everything is blazingly fast.
+ The utilities are written to be memory efficient (i.e. not wasteful), but
+ whole messages are assumed to fit into RAM easily (one at a time).
