At least one of them I clearly remember putting in the AB.
But it is nowhere to be seen.

You mean: when Xanadu hits us? ;-)
I've been told that TBv2 might take quite some time...
[See? Progress! I made my own Tabs! Auto-wrap on,
auto-format off, I give <cr> and then add three spaces. The
standard 8 that TB's editor uses as a tab are bit too much
for my taste anyway. And I've discovered Alt-L too. You
people are indeed helpful.]

Ah! The latter method short & snappy.
The reson why I sometimes need to edit messages it that I
am on quite a number of mailinglists, some of them in digest
form, and I don't want to store 40k when I only want one
single item of a digest.

Works only partially. I am trying to move a top-level
mailbox to a place _under_ a folder that contains other
mailboxes.

I'll wait for further replies ;-)

Yes, that seems to be what's happening, as Graham explained
in greater detail: since filtered mail passes my inbox, the
numbers of incoming new mails are preserved there. Ok.

What I quoted was typed accordingly to what I saw. But
Graham's explanation fits.
