Re: unseen/deleted messages

2023-07-09 Thread aalinovi
M-x emacs version returns:
GNU emacs 28.2 (build 1,x86_4-unknown-openbsd GTK version 3.24.38 cairo
version 1.17.8) of 2023-07-07.

I said previously that I had undone all of the customizations and gone
back to the default settings and that had solved my problem of always
seeing deleted messages. Now I am not so sure that is what did it.

Using nmh I had been using Jerry Peek's rmmer script which creates a
DELETE folder where all messages you delete go.

I think when I visited the nytimes folder what I was actually seeing was
nytimes/DELETE and so on for every folder I visited. I have since
stopped using that script.

As always, thanks to you and Bill Wohler for taking time and being
patient with me.

What you've shown us above is the draft.  If you wish, you may alter
what's after the ‘’ to be the body text of your email as normal.
Just leave the ‘#forw...’ line at the end.

That's because the draft isn't being processed by mhbuild(1).  I assume
you're seeing the whatnow(1) prompt and are using that to send the
email?  Before you send it, enter ‘mime’ to have whatnow run mhbuild.
This will alter the draft.  (You can see the change by entering ‘edit’
at the same prompt to return to the editor.  Exit the editor without
making changes.)  Send the email in the same way as before.
