Re: [Nmh-workers] Artificial argv limits.

Hi Paul (Fox),

but looking at rmm.c, refile.c, and folder_delmsgs(), i don't think
that issue applies.  the patch below fixes the problem, and makes
rmmproc and refile do the right thing (well, at least, the modern
thing).  NB: i didn't test to the limit where execvp should return
E2BIG.

When you say it makes refile `do the right thing', do you mean refile
doesn't create copies of the emails if the future rmmproc can't be
invoked?  I'm guessing not from the patch's brevity.  :-)  That means
the user is left with many duplicate emails, most likely with different
numbers, hard-linked across two folders to clean up.

Cheers, Ralph.
