Hi Ken,
next(1)/prev(1) would NOT, because it would need to know the next message number.
One thought, next(1) could speculatively stat(2) `43' and fallback to readdir(3) if it's not there. It could do N stat()s, e.g. three, before giving up. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers(_at_)nongnu(_dot_)org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
