right. on startup, mutt flagged five boxes as having new mail
(via "N" on the index display). i opened one, nosed aruond, and
then did "c" "<tab>" to change to another mbox -- and now there
were only two marked as having new mail. i'd looked at one of
the five, so i expected four to still have new mail.
very strange, that.

fancy enough to do the job. being a perl wonk, i'm fond of the
regex approach. taxing on the machine, but they pay their taxes
without a grumble, these days, and ask to do more. :)

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #15 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Is there a good place to learn snarky PERL TECHNIQUES? One of
my favorites is http://webtechniques.com, where Randall Schwartz
contributes a monthly sample, explaining line-by-line what his
code does, and why. (Look under "Programming with Perl" in the
archives.)
Also see http://newbieDoc.sourceForge.net/ ...
