Hi Olaf,

I'm not sure if you meant that as a rhetorical question.

It's a better solution because it works for all mailbox types that the
buffy code can monitor, not just maildir.  It takes advantage of the
existing code instead of adding another "maildir walking" function.

If there is a monitored mailbox corresponding to the entry, %n or %m
will print a number, including 0.  If there is no corresponding
monitored mailbox, they will print an empty string.  There are several
solutions mutt has for aligning text, the simplest of which is a format
modifier, e.g. %5n.

Sorry but you'll need to be more specific than that.

The %N functionality hasn't really changed: the BUFFY pointer is passed
to add_folder() instead of the BUFFY->new value, but the same value is
assigned to "(state->entry)[state->entrylen].new".
