Re: Scan of folders with 10k+ messages?

2003-02-21 02:30:07

Hi Harlan,

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?

See scan's -form and -format options, and mh-format(5).  In particular,
copy the existing format file used by scan, e.g. /etc/nmh/scan.default,
and change the `%4(msg)' to `%5(msg)' before making it your default
using ~/.mh_profile.

Sorry, that's a bit terse, but hopefully you get the idea.  If not, come
back.

Cheers,


Ralph.
