osdep/unix/mh.c says:
void mh_check (MAILSTREAM *stream)
{
/* Perhaps in the future this will preserve flags */
if (mh_ping (stream)) mm_log ("Check completed",(long) NIL);
}
So I guess the problem is known.
But I don't understand what would be required to fix it. I can't see
the big picture. AFAI can see mh_ping is not changing the status of
messages.
So do you flag messages in memory or something similar when marking them
for deletion? And so a mh_ping doesn't take in memory structures in
account and only checks "on disk" messages and by this invalidates in
memory information? But even then - I don't see mh_ping flushing any in
memory data? So where do those flags get lost?
