Actually, I just realized there _is_ a race condition in the maildir/mh code I've been meaning to look into. Once in a blue moon, I've noticed Mutt didn't notice a new mail in the currently open mailbox. I've had it on my todo list, but hadn't had a chance to look into it yet. Taking a quick peek, the mh_sync_mailbox() code touches the context->mtime value using maildir_update_mtime(), and even has a comment about a possible race condition. I'm not sure what to do about it yet, but perhaps this is what you encountered? -- Kevin J. McCarthy GPG Fingerprint: 8975 A9B3 3AA3 7910 385C 5308 ADEF 7684 8031 6BDA
