     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.
