What were you trying to do?
	I had just rmm'd tons of stuff.  I wanted to repack my inbox and
then get rid of all the #* files.

What's wrong:
	(~) Meow? folder -pack
	folder: unable to rename 117 to 78: No such file or directory
In fact, here's the whole sequence:

(~) Meow? ls Mail/inbox

(I started at the end of a "scan". )  I'm not sure if I lost anything in
this or not.

What should have happened:
	It should have packed my folder.  Ie, gotten rid of holes in the
numbering sequence.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man folder
