Looking back at your command, I see '-type -d' I missed that.
-d is the depth option. Having -type -d will produce an error.

Ah poo, so it does. My excuse is that I'm ill today and a bit under par...
Mutt seems happy enough though (despite my other documented issue) and it's
nice and fast.
Will it (likely) cause problems? I'm going to have to completely re-build my
desktop machine in a month, so I'll probably look into a better solution
(maybe switch mail format or organisation) then. But I don't want any
problems before then.
cheers,
Adam
