From the snippets that Steve provided, it looks like that could
upset exmh and MH-V.
Yes, exmh's use of sortm is "entire directory".
mh.tcl: if {[catch {eval {MhExec sortm +$f} $args} err]} {
And the $args it can be fed comes from these 4 calls:
{date} { Folder_Sort -datefield date }
{subject} { Folder_Sort -textfield subject }
{sender} { Folder_Sort -textfield from }
{custom} { eval Folder_Sort $ftoc(autoSortCrit) }
In other words, 3 canned values that assume "entire directory", and
one customizable (with a scary use of eval there - I suspect it doesn't
actually do what was probably intended, which would probably be
{ Folder_Sort { eval $ftoc(autoSortCrit) } }
In any case, if mh changes this behavior, it's going to break anybody
who doesn't have an exmh updated to specify all messages.
