Re: Scan of folders with 10k+ messages?
Hi, I see we all chipped in to help Harlan, probably thinking no one else had yet. Is there any chance the mailing list can turnaround posts a little more quickly? $ s -nos lp | g '^Date' Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 10:48:49 -0800 Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 13:55:18 -0500 Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 12:06:09 -0700 Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 20:13:16 +0100 Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 11:25:23 -0800 Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 13:53:04 -0800 Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2003 23:41:27 + $ s -nos lp | g 'for [EMAIL PROTECTED];' for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 04:11:30 -0500 (EST) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 04:11:37 -0500 (EST) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 04:11:44 -0500 (EST) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 04:11:48 -0500 (EST) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 04:11:50 -0500 (EST) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 04:11:53 -0500 (EST) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Fri, 21 Feb 2003 04:11:55 -0500 (EST) Cheers, Ralph.

That would be the format file (e.g. /etc/nmh/scan.default on Debian systems). See the `-form' option in the `scan' man page. BTW, the current release of the Emacs front-end MH-E does this automatically, detecting the number of messages to display in a given folder. See http://mh-e.sourceforge.net/ -- Peter S.

In /usr/local/etc/nmh/scan.default or wherever your nmh installation has put scan.default, change where it says '%4(msg)' and change the 4 to a 5.

Re: Scan of folders with 10k+ messages?
You can change whatever format file you're using. I use scan.timely and
have modified the it to make the msg number 5 wide. Like this:
%5(msg)%<(cur)+%| %>%<{replied}-%?{encrypted}E%| %>\
...
I wouldn't call this a bug, but more of a surprising feature ;->.

Hi Harlan, > I have a folder with more than 10k messages in it. Scan now displays > these messages as ?nnn, where nnn is really digits. What do I need to > hack to allow for a wider field? See scan's -form and -format options, and mh-format(5). In particular, copy the existing format file used by scan, e.g. /etc/nmh/scan.default, and change the `%4(msg)' to `%5(msg)' before making it your default using ~/.mh_profile. Sorry, that's a bit terse, but hopefully you get the idea. If not, come back. Cheers, Ralph.

What do I need to hack to allow for a wider field? You need to modify your scan format file -- or, if you don't have one of your own, make a copy of the system file and hack yours. There's info in the online MH book; one place to start is http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/mh/morsca.htm#index2 . Jerry -- Jerry Peek, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.jpeek.com/

Copy /etc/nmh/scan.default into your Mail directory and s/%4(msg)/%5(msg)/.
