Hi,
I'm trying to delete some 200k messages from a 240k IMAP folder.
Tagging ~m1-10000 and deleting/expunging works. For larger selections
(I first tried 200k and then 50k), mutt fails with
Fatal error: word too long
and closes the folder.
Mutt version 1.5.17, both tarball and hg HEAD.

Comment:
Nope, that's fine. I'll try to put together a patch to clamp command size,
at least for flag storage which is the only thing that currently makes
very long commands.
