Hello again, I tried a little and i think this Problem is NOT mutts problem. I tried some biffs and they all had the same problem. (except mailcheck). So i think it either procmail or fetchmail do something strange to the mails.
I will just have to wait a little until there are enough new mails in my mailfolders, make a backup and then check what makes the difference. I will tell you what I found out tomorrow (hopefully) And thank you Christoph * Am Tue, Apr 09, 2002 at 12:57:53PM -0500 , schrieb David T-G: > Christoph -- > > ...and then [EMAIL PROTECTED] said... > % > % * Am Tue, Apr 09, 2002 at 11:47:18AM -0500 , schrieb David T-G: > ... > % > > % > So you had, say, messages one through four in your mailbox.
