Mutt assumes throughout the maildir synchronization code (in particular the new one ;-) that a file in a maildir folder does not change its content during a mutt session. Just editing such files is, for this reason, not a good idea. Also, for any mailbox type, the way things are now provides users with a very cheap "undo" function. Just undelete the original message, and delete the new one. I consider this a feature. -- Thomas Roessler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
