Oops; I should have renamed the core file instead of deleting it. If
the problem ever recirs, I'll try "file core".

Maybe mutt did something to the folders themselves? A long shot, but
they seem to be the only things that might have been written.

Yes, with a little inconsistency with mutt -y: it jumped to the first
unread message, which happened to be one marked with an "O" - that is,
I had seen it in the listing before but hadn't gotten around to
reading it. mutt -y given me a listing of mailboxes with an N next to
the ones with new mail ("N" messages) but doesn't mark mailboxes which
have "O" messages but no "N" messages. Maybe this is normal, but I
would prefer to have some "O" markings in the mailbox list as well.

Dave
