When I looked at this before, a large number of IMAP servers didn't support flags, or had a bunch of limitations on them. I think the only sequence you can be guaranteed to support is unseen. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
