I think I've got it. In MH folders, the message filenames are simply integers. AFAICT, if there's a message / file named '1', then auto-detection works correctly, but if there's no '1' (if, say, it has been deleted), then we get 'mbox', even if there are '2', '3', etc. Try the enclosed folder. > > Cheers, > > gregor > > Thanks for your help, > > Celejar Celejar -- mailmin.sourceforge.net - remote access via secure (OpenPGP) email ssuds.sourceforge.net - A Simple Sudoku Solver and Generator
