The tools I use to read email affect how I read it (more than I thought)
Up until recently, I read most of my email with exmh, a graphical X frontend on (N)MH, and some of it with command line NMH tools. I've used exmh at work for a long time, and then at home from early 2020 onward (when I started working from home a lot). Recent changes in my home Internet made using exmh from home less pleasant, so I started trying out the only other current (N)MH frontend that I know of, MH-E in GNU Emacs. Initially this was only from home, but then I started using it at work as well, partly with the excuse of building up familiarity with it faster (and sanding off a whole assortment of rough edges faster).

Plakar: a TON of changes
Anyways, I closed the gap so I can speak freely my mind on this and warn that benchmarks should be taken carefully when you don’t have a close understanding of what is being measured, and I will also provide a Copy() method so that I can actually benchmark my raw FastCDC implementation as was done by others and measure the overhead of my API to expose chunks.
