i think i mentioned this before. this is a quirk of upas/nedmail —
there are a few cases where ned assumes that you don't
mean the already-open mailbox in /mail/fs and tries to
reopen the same in /mail/box/$user. this can result in
doubly-opened mailboxes. this is no big deal for small,
local mailboxes. but with upas, it's a big pain if your
mailbox is big and doesn't work if your mailbox doesn't
live in /mail/box/$user
i didn't think this behavior was helpful, so i changed
ned to prefer already-open mailboxes:
; useupas
; echo open /mail/box/quanstro/t Mail > /mail/fs/ctl
; upas/nedmail -f Mail
!can't 'open Mail Mail': '/mail/box/quanstro/Mail' does not exist
upas/nedmail: can't read
; usenupas
; echo open /mail/box/quanstro/x Mail >/mail/fs/ctl
minooka; upas/nedmail -f Mail

acme Mail already does the right thing as
far as i can tell.
