no. MH message numbers can have holes and can be reassigned. IMAP is
always 1..N, no holes.
You know, unless I'm missing something, the holes in our messages
numbers could be considered a bug. I find it annoying to have to use
"folder -pack" occasionally. If we kept our folders packed, then we
could get rid of the folder -pack option.
huh. am i the only one that keeps adding digits to the scan display
format? :-)
