What were you trying to do?
I was trying to rmm >998 messages at a time. (c.f. my previous bug
about refile)
What's wrong:
rmm blew out before invoking 'delete':
> dragons-lair% rmm `pick +backfromeurope --x-spam-flag yes`
> rmm: more than 998 messages for delete exec
No mail was actually deleted, as far as I could tell.
Obviously, I could work around this by running the following command
repeatedly: "rmm `pick +backfromeurope --x-spam-flag yes | head -998`"
What should have happened:
It should have worked regardless of the number of messages being
deleted.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
