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 safe-
     cat  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.
