What were you trying to do?
I was trying to create a subfolder called "91" under my folder
called "educom."
What's wrong:
folder gets created, and I can manipulate it from folder menu
in the xmh instance that created it, but when I come back the next day
(or otherwise restart xmh) the "91" subfolder no longer appears under
the "educom" menu of subfolders. (By the way, how come sendbug uses
emacs instead of checking the EDITOR envariable and giving me the
xedit I love?)
What should have happened:
Shoulda been there in the menu. In fact the subfolder still
exists, and when I rename it to "sd91", which can't be confused with a
message number -- see, I know I did something unconventional -- and
then restart xmh the subfolder appears once more. Either xmh should
advise me that the "91" folder name isn't going to work properly (that
is, check for numbers as folder names), or it should handle them
properly.
