Thanks James.
I hadn't notice any peculiar behavior before, but I only used mutt to
browse over my gmail messages, not to move messages around. I noticed the
problems today, as I decided to organize my account. I used mutt in
order to easily select and manipulate blocks of messages (without
having to learn gmail's keyboard shortcuts).
Best regards,
Luis
