I have a folder with more than 10k messages in it.

Scan now displays these messages as ?nnn, where nnn is really digits.

What do I need to hack to allow for a wider field?

That would be the format file (e.g. /etc/nmh/scan.default on Debian
systems).  See the `-form' option in the `scan' man page.

BTW, the current release of the Emacs front-end MH-E does this
automatically, detecting the number of messages to display in a given
folder.   See http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/
