Good.

To me, the client looks a lot like an offline newsreader, where you
can mark article to download, article to mark as read and so on.

I think we should assume that messages from the server to the
nymholder are piped (manually or from procmail) to the client.

When the nymserver sends messages back to the nymholder using
mixminion, it uses it as a client so no special change in mixminion is
needed I think. For the other way (nymholder control messages to the
server), we need some kind of generic pipe delivery in the mixminion
server. But this has been discussed already and is planned too, iirc.

Changes were clean.

Some magic about tabs. I use:

set softtabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set tabstop=8

but I don't remember exactly which does what.
