The problem I'm fighting against here is that when reopening a connection the c-client's mh driver will loose knowledge of which messages were removed. And wrt *that* "flag", my sources seem to be clear - a removed message is prepended with a ',' or with a '#' [1] (that's what one of the mh users is seeing in RL as well). IMHO c-client should do just that: rename all the removed messages, but ... But even if it doesn't, then it should remove - however that should be done - removed messages at mh_check instead of forgeting about the fact they were removed. ? *t [1] http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/mh/rem.htm -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Tomas Pospisek http://sourcepole.com - Linux & Open Source Solutions -----------------------------------------------------------
