snooze your INBOX

A few days ago Chris made me realize that my GTD setup was still missing a piece: a proper tickler file implementation.

As I wanted an IMAP-free implementation, I've rolled up my own: rotate-tickler. Nothing too fancy: shell script triggered by cron, which moves mails around a set of DELAYED.{1,..} maildir-s. Still, it is careful about clashes (which shouldn't happen according to the maildir specs, but better be paranoid with mails), and properly cleans up the "seen" flag for the final (re)delivery in INBOX.

Give it a try and feel free to git format-patch-me your improvements. (BTW, does it make any sense today to publish any piece of software, no matter how small, without shelving it into some DVCS?)
