If I run this:

~/.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.
$ for i in $( ls ~/.maildir/cur ) ; do echo $i ; done

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament!], 'Pray,

answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
