Users of git nmh have had three years to notice and haven't. I think most people that find a folder overflows their column width alter the format to add another digit, e.g. as their biggest folder tips over 10,000. So do folks live with question mark in the output so that misalignment will niggle? Given that, I don't think it's worth a 1.7.1. We could wait for a user to suffer and report it. Or for the next 1.7 problem to be reported as that may warrant a fix release and this could jump aboard. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy -- Nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
