If everyone's happy with "+" meaning the folder root and "@" meaning

NO. I'm not quite happy with that, in that I would prefer
that
+ foobar
mean the same thing as +foobar. That way wild card expansion in shell scrip
ts
and file name completion in interactive shells would be much easier.
OK, that brings us back to the original discussion. :) Is "+" without
anything immediately following a folderspec in its own right? Norman
says no, and I think I agree with him, chiefly because the folder root
could still be referenced with "+." (once I fix the bugs).
I agree. Anything that helps users avoid the unexpected result
of "refile +" is good.

P.S. Norman, I replied to your two-month old message about using "file -i"
just recently, but your mailserver rejects any email coming from mine. If
this list doesn't send duplicates to you then you might not have seen my
reply at all.
