I built mailutils at HEAD, with your fix. I see that "folders +/" finds all the root directories, and I don't see garbage characters in the output. Thanks for the quick fix. The difference from nmh, "/bin" vs "//bin", is significant to MH-E, so the MH-E unit tests still don't pass. I suspect this is a bug in MH-E. I think MH-E doesn't parse "folders +/" correctly, and this failure is papered over by nmh's adding an extra slash. To my eyes, "/bin" looks better than "//bin", but maybe I don't understand the semantics of an MH folder name. So which "folders" output is correct, mailutils or nmh? If mailutils is correct, we can fix MH-E to deal with the correct answer. < Stephen
