Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it in commit 7c1a6a2523 [1].
Running 'folder -all +/' on mailutils HEAD, I get the following:
folder: stat(/boot/config) failed: No such file or directory
folder: stat(/boot/vmlinuz) failed: No such file or directory
folder: stat(/boot/System.map) failed: No such file or directory
/+ has no messages; (others).
/bin has no messages; (others).
/boot has no messages; (others).
/dev has no messages; (others).
[..more lines follow..]
which looks pretty similar to nmh output (except that nmh prints two
slashes where mailutils prints one).
Best regards,
Sergey
