 	N: Implement PLZ turn off m_get command.
 
 mbfile:
-	L: Update <filespec> <area> <-touch>
-
 	L: Possibility to skip file areas from checking and reindexing.
 
-	U: mbfile import refuses to import (overwrite) a file that is already
-           in the file area. See also adopt.
-
 	N: It is not possible to import areas that run of cd-roms. Do we still
 	   need cd-rom support with current hd prices?
 
-	N: Add commandline switch for adopt that allows replacing files that
-	   already exist.
-
 mbnntp:
 	U: fetched mail doesn't get the status Rcvd if it was for the user.
