Hi!
I just realized that you can do "refile 1 +" and it works perfectly well,
that is: It does the only consistent thing to do and puts the message
directly into ~/Mail
Yeah, I've run across that one as well (via typo). Caused a little
consternation while I tried to figure out where the mail had been refiled
to. This was on my to-do list to look at for when I eventually get some
time to hack on nmh again.
Actually it seems that most commands work fairly well on "+" but there
is one anomaly: The current folder always gets set to "+inbox", no matter
where you start from! That is: "scan +" displays the contents of
~/Mail but sets the current folder to ~/Mail/inbox
But if for some odd reason you want to set you current folder to ~/Mail
you still can do it by specifying "+inbox/..".
However "folders" will neither find "+" nor "+inbox/.." nor any
equivalent (for obious reasons you'll say) thus making ~/Mail
(and everything upwards in the hierarchy) an invisible folder.
Thanks for the report. My personal opinion would be that it'd be better to
error if a non-empty folder name is given, rather than to get the rest of
the commands to work "properly" with a bare +.
Oops, I meant "error if an empty folder name is given".
