Sure. Let's say I make a category, 'foo'. Into it, I put a number of
messages, sorted by hand.
Now, I want to share that category with you. Since, a category is a just a
list of msgIDs, themselves bearing no inherent relation, If I just give
you the category...no dice. My msgID won't match up *in any way* with
yours.
Perhaps I'm being presumptuous. Normally, if you share a mail folder, I
imagine you send the actual messages within. Bummer.
Email sucks! :)
But the total break between msgID and content, the arbitrariness of the
association, *does* imho make categories a bit less useful. But maybe I'm
hallucinating :)
