[Omaha.pm] Mail::Folder missing person

Interesting...

Kevin Johnson (author of Mail::Folder) email bounces and I can't find him. 

Looks like he hasn't posted up to CPAN since 1999. 
   http://cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/KJOHNSON/

I even Googled and found a wrong Kevin Johnson. -grin-

- CPAN policy (according to their FAQ) seems to not touch anything if an author disappears (even for 5 years?)...
- It appears that Mail::Folder has been superceeded by Mail::Box, which is active. Should probably port our gizmo to that some day.
- A forced install of Mail::Folder got us through the problem below anyway. It still works fine for our purposes. I guess I've bought some time before having to learn Mail::Box. -grin-

Curiouser and curiouser,

Hi Kevin --

We've been using Mail::Folder for a few years, firing it up every once in a while to purge specific emails out of 2200 Mbox files...

In a recent install (last night) we hit a lot of noise.

Are you still maintaining Mail::Folder? Would you want patches?

Thanks,
