Re: [Nmh-workers] mhfixmsg invocation

Hi David,

Alternatively, something like this (completely untested)?

    msgs=`inc -format '%(msg)'`  &&  [ -n "$msgs" ]  &&  mhfixmsg $msgs

but then i'd lose the default output of inc.

msgs=`inc -format '%(msg)'` && [ -n "$msgs" ] && scan $msgs && mhfixmsg $msgs

Still a bit of a kludge?  inc updates *all* sequences in
unseen-sequence, so Paul could add one just for this task which he
zeroes before inc so it contains just the inc'd ones.

Though I wonder if inc could really do with an orthogonal -sequence that
it sets to precisely what it just created, i.e. it zeroes it beforehand.

Cheers, Ralph.
