Hoi,
I'm not quite sure if I already told you about it; I hope not.
Attached is a patch for man/mhpath.man which:
- fixes a typo
- makes two sentences more clear
Then there is this sentence:
Message numbers greater than the highest existing message in a
folder as part of a range designation are replaced with the next
free message number.
I simply don't get the sense of this sentence, because it appears to
not be true. At least I could not find any case in which it makes
sense.
I think it should be removed, unless someone can show that the
behavior really is such.
