in december of 2001 i posted to comp.mail.mh about a bug with
unseen sequences, in previously empty folders. the symptom was
that if you've deleted all the mail from a folder, and then inc
new mail into that folder, the unseen sequence remains empty.
jeff honig responded with a fix, which was posted to the group at
the time.
it's quite possible that the problem has been fixed some other
way, and not mentioned in the changelog, but just in case, here's
the patch. at the time, i read the inc.c code and determined why,
in fact, this patch was correct. i'm afraid i can't provide the
analysis anymore.
