I don't usually use flist.  As I updated the online MH book for nmh-1.0,
though, I think I've found an ugly bug.  Here's the way I've documented
it in the book:

        CAUTION:
        flist (with nmh-1.0, at least) doesn't understand
        relative folder names like "@subfolder" or "@..".
        For instance, "flist @january" won't change to the subfolder
        named "january"; it will set the current folder name to
        (literally) "@january".  Then, if you try to use any other
        nmh commands, they'll ask "Create folder @january?".
        
        The workaround is to first change the current folder (for
        instance, with "folder @january"), then run flist. 

If this can't be fixed, could it at least be added to the manpage BUGS?

As usual, I apologize for not having the time to dig in and try to fix
this.  (I barely have time to update the book.)  If I'm wrong about this
bug, please let me know!!  Otherwise, if you agree with this, maybe you
can suggest a fix?  Thanks.

Jerry
