When you move a file from new to cur, you have to change its name from uniq to uniq:info … info starting with "2,": Each character after the comma is an independent flag. … In short: You want to rename 1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207 to 1263436052.V6814I43300b4M146002.correio.domain.com.br,S=238207:2,Z Regards, Pascal -- The trapper recommends today: beeffeed.1001...@localdomain.org
