What were you trying to do?
basically to work with any e-mail whose number pass 9999 (yes it's me again)
What's wrong:
I believe in certain operations exmh does not seem to recognize e-mails whose number exceeds 9999. I know the Athena command inc works because I checked Mail/inbox and the e-mails are indeed numbered 10000 etc. However, exmh seems to think e-mails like 10004 (listed as ?004) is e-mail number 4. It fails to display it, but when you, for example, clicked "reply" or "forward" or "delete" it apply the command to e-mail number 4 instead of 10004 (if e-mail number 4 exists...otherwise it of course complains of an error to the effect that it can't find e-mail number 4).
What should have happened:
exmh needs to be able to correctly work with numbers past 9999.
