No, I tried that - apparently it never gets incorporated, it's as
if exmh just destroys the message.
So, I'll get zephyr notification or I'll log in and get a notice of
new messages, then I'll try to launch exmh, and the
messages never appear - anywhere. Exmh will say "no unread mail". I tried
sending myself a few messages, and this doesn't always happen - say about
70% of the time. I've been testing using inc/scan, and I think this
also happens with inc (I'm still testing, so I can't say for sure).
The wierdest part is that I sat and watched exmh do the inc once, and
I saw the subject of the message go by (in red text, as it normally
does in exmh), but exmh then immediately switched to "no unread mail"
and the message never appeared - rescan or no.
I'm pretty baffled (and curious about my e-mails that have disappeared
into the void!)
