If you had three mailboxes, say mail1 mail2 and mail3, wouldn't that piece of command line wizardry give the following output: mail1mail2mail3 Instead of mail1 mail2 mail3 ? I wonder whether this is why Mutt is getting confused. :) Although the script is there doubtless to serve as a timesaver if and when you add new mailboxes, try inserting the filenames manually until you fix it. That way, you *will* be notified of new mail. :) Best regards :) -- Lee J. Moore It's all GNU to me
