2001-12-04 Thread Dave Smith
Hi all. I've got a couple of potential bugs, and some questions on how to debug/report them. First, the bugs: o Mutt seems to be losing track of the number of new messages. Every now and then, I end up with "New: 1" in the status bar at the bottom of the screen, but there aren't any n
