Re: [Nmh-workers] new marker format broke test suite

Hi Paul,

mhlist still uses 1024-based math, but prints K/M/G.  barring a more
complete rewrite to make mhlist's output tuneable, i guess i should
change it to either print Ki/Mi/Gi or use 1000-based math, to at least
be self-consistent.  thoughts?

Changing the suffix has the least impact on the user who is used to
seeing certain numbers for particular content.  Seeing 64K become 65K
would be annoying;  64Ki would be "They've fixed that bug".  :-)

Cheers, Ralph.
