I see Conrad pointed out that if you set "sort=date+" in your .mairixc then this resolves this issue (but I do not know if that has negative side effects or if that interacts badly with MH-E). This does suggest to me we should probably change the internal API so sparse message ranges are handled better; right now all of the programs access the folder structure members directly and assume that there will be a msgstat structure in every location in the array. Sigh. One more thing to add to the list. --Ken
