In hindsight that would have been better, yes. At at the time I just wanted to get rid of those big meaningless numbers overlapping my mailbox labels and I really thought that the change would be uncontroversial. > > > Yes, I know, there is a limit but most of us rarely reach this limit. > > > > _I_ reached that limit and that motivated the patch. > OK.

I've never reached that limit in mailboxes I care and I hope to never reach that limit, actually. But the day when I need to take action upon 10k new emails will be a _bad_ day anyway, so in that case I won't even have the free time to bother about wmbiff. As you see, I did something about the case I cared about and that makes sense for me. You have another view and I respect that. But you also said that your wmbiff with your patches was doing the thing you wanted it to do, so that's a solution. Another solution would be to implement the -classic switch you mentioned. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
