If I run this:

# for i in ~/.maildir/cur/* ; do echo $i ; done
~/.maildir/cur/1142021402.V810I1560adeM187221:2,S

I get a list of the files in that directory.

If there are no files in the directory, I get my glob back...

# for i in ~/.maildir/new/* ; do echo $i ; done
~/timesheet/.maildir/new/*

Is there a way to *not* get this glob back? If the dir is empty, the command I have is getting this glob and is throwing an error.

If I can't change that behavior I'll have to change my script to handle and ignore the glob. But I'd prefer to not get the glob if possible.

Thanks,
Rob
