Hello!

	I am unsure whether this fails on the RT.  

PROBLEM:
	xmh bombs (i.e.  exits) if you try to delete a folder which is a
link to a directory which does not exist.

REPEAT BY:
	Make a directory, create a link to it in your Mail directory, and
delete the directory.  Now open xmh, select the folder, and hit the
"delete folder" button.  xmh will bomb.

[/mit/drmorris]:renoir % xmh &
[1] 5420
[/mit/drmorris]:renoir % xmh: No such file or directory
Error in FOpenAndCheck(/mit/drmorris/Mail/tempbox1/.xmhcache, r)
errno = 2
exiting.

WHAT IT SHOULD DO (in my opinion):
	xmh should simply delete the link.
