I have recently upgraded to RedHat Linux 7.1 (for Intel) and am
experiencing weird behavior in nmh (1.0.4) on my machine.  I use exmh as
my user agent most of the time, but sometimes use mh shell commands. 
Whenever I go to a folder lately, I am discovering that there are a few
messages missing from the scan.  Yes, missing -- ls shows that the files
are there, and I can access them any way at all *except* with nmh, which
simply acts as if they don't exist.  Worse, if I do a 'folder -pack' on
the folder, nmh again acts as if the messages don't exist, so they get
deleted.  After that, if I do 'folder -list' it tells me that there are,
for example, 599 messages numbered 1-601, meaning that there are now two
other messages that are being ignored, so another 'folder -pack' will
delete more messages, and so on.

Sometimes I can get the messages noticed by nmh by using cat and piping
it through rcvstore, though it's unpredictable -- sometimes this will
result in the newly-created message being visible in scan, and sometimes
the old one will now show up, and sometimes this has no effect.

What's weirder, I use nmh on two different accounts on my machine, and
only one of them has developed this problem.  Luckily it's not the
account I use for work!  But I can't figure out why all nmh commands
simply don't see certain messages!
