Possibly, but this shouldn't have had any effect as the mails were deleted (or rather marked as trash) from a previous session. This happened once again after I sent my initial email, feh! > > (I'm using the maildir mbox format with $maildir_trash set.) > > I dunno how the trash option works, but I imagine that it doesn't purge > the mailbox immediately... According to $MUTT/etc/Muttrc, the $maildir_trash only tags deleted messages with the (T)rashed flag...but I suspect the problem was because I had set $delete to "no". The default for this option was ask-yes, and I didn't want mutt to keep asking me whether or not I wanted to delete messages (because since $maildir_trash, it wasn't a big deal). So I set it to "no". I'm thinking this confused mutt, and so it undeleted all my deleted messages. Anyways, I set $delete to "yes" and so far it hasn't happened again. I'm guessing this was my fault, as things didn't make sense the way the two options were set...oh well. noble -- N.
