I'm using a Linux 2.4.2 kernel on an i686, and I have nmh 1.0.4 installed (I'm using the RedHat nmh-1.0.4-6.i386.rpm that comes with RedHat 7.0, although the same problem happened with nmh-1.0.4-8.i386.rpm). I have my components file set up to have a line like this: Fcc: +sent-mail/this-month so that whenever I send a message, a copy of it goes into the +sent-mail/ this-month folder. That works. However, something doesn't tell nmh about it in some way, because if I 'scan +sent-mail/this-month', the new message doesn't appear in the list, even though an 'ls' will show it there, and I can 'cat' it just fine. I just can use 'scan' or 'show' on it; 'show' claims the message does not exist. Worse, if I use 'folder -pack', nmh will delete the message! Now, this situation might have been caused by exmh, which I do use (version 2.3.1), but once I realized this was happening I started experimenting on the command line, and the same thing happens. I have tried making a new folder and refiling all the messages into the new folder, then deleting the original folder, making a new one with the same name and refiling all the messages back. The problem remains. I can make the problem go away briefly by deleting some of the messages from the end of the list (the end being defined as the messages that show up as last when I type 'scan'), but as soon as I've sent a few messages and a few more messages show up in +sent-mail/this-month, the problem reemerges. Part of this may be that I don't know the mechanism by which the Fcc header causes nmh to file messages in that folder. Anyway, have you heard of this problem at all? Mostly I'm writing in hopes that somebody has already run into this 100 times and knows what I'm doing wrong. -- Take care, Tom Lee ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
