I agree. However, while leading double slashes indicate a Samba path, double or triple or gazillionaple slashes later in the path should be considered as a single slash. If someone is generating leading double slashes that are not Samba paths, I'd consider that a bug. > So which "folders" output is correct, mailutils or nmh?
