Please check patch-1.5.10.ab.empty_limit.1 uploaded to
<URL:http://bugs.mutt.org/1906>. It completes the previous changes done
around empty limits:
- New mails appear if they match the limit pattern.
- <show-limit> and %V show the current limit pattern.
- %M shows 0 (number of messages matching limit).
- Patterns beginning by ~A but longer are not confused with ~A.
- <limit> and <show-limit> are callable from an empty mailbox.
- <toggle-write> also.
Bye! Alain.
