That's what I was trying to explain. In the inc case, the actual fiddling time is small. Re-reading the sequence file after you're done incorporating the messages solves that problem. I cannot envision a scenario where that does not solve the problem, but if you can come up with one I'd gladly rethink that. Refile generally doesn't take a huge amount of time, if it can do hard links. folder -pack is the big one, but when I looked at that there are actually a bunch of things that does that really expect no one is doing anything else to the folder during that time period, so I would argue that any other operations should block during that time. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
