Here's my problem, it's driving me nuts! It occurs with all versions
including the 1.0 release of nmh (from which the below is taken).
When I incorporate mail by typing 'inc' on the command line, and
I have an existing .mh_sequences file in my inbox directory, the
.mh_sequences file gets deleted and hence I lose all my sequence
info. When I incorporate using clicking on 'inc' using exmh-2.0.2,
everything works like it should (mail is incorporated and new message is
marked unread). If there is no existing /home/orf/inbox/.mh_sequences,
none is created when I type 'inc' by hand.
The deletion is occuring in seq_save.c at line 106:
if (fp) {
fclose (fp);
SIGPROCMASK (SIG_SETMASK, &oset, &set); /* reset signal mask */
} else {
/*
* If folder is not readonly, and we didn't save any
* public sequences, then remove that file.
*/
if (!is_readonly(mp))
unlink (seqfile); /* deletion occuring here! */
}
I don't understand why *fp is null, for one.
Here's the mp structure for this folder:
(xxgdb) p *mp
$6 = {
lowmsg = 1,
hghmsg = 400,
nummsg = 399,
lowsel = 0,
hghsel = 0,
numsel = 0,
curmsg = 400,
msgflags = 8,
foldpath = 0x808c4d0 "/home/orf/Mail/inbox",
msgattrs = {0x808d740 "cur", 0x808d7d0 "unseen", 0x0 <repeats 26 times>},
attrstats = 96,
lowoff = 1,
hghoff = 499,
msgstats = 0x808cf70
}
Here are permissions, since I think this is where the problem may be:
home[1002]:/home/orf/Mail/inbox% ls -ld /home/orf/Mail
/home/orf/Mail/inbox / >
drwx--x--x 25 orf user1 2048 Mar 13 09:39 /home/orf/Mail/
drwx--x--x 4 orf user1 30720 Mar 13 09:40 /home/orf/Mail/inbox/
-rw-r--r-- 1 orf user1 12 Mar 13 09:40
/home/orf/Mail/inbox/.mh_sequences
I have multiple mailbox files, and a funny thing is, if I do
inc +work/ssecmail -file ${HOME}/.ssecmail -truncate
I don't have this problem in +work/ssecmail; the .mh_sequence file
is updated correctly as would be expected. Is this a permissions
thing? Help! I doubt this will help but here is my .mh_profile file:
home[1006]:/home/orf% cat .mh_profile
