Re: browser new mail count

Sorry to follow up to myself, but for clarity since many people aren't
using IMAP:

I have _IMAP_ archive folders which have over 50k emails; folder_format
expands %N to 'N'/' ' for the non-IMAP case.  For IMAP, it expands as %d
and gives the actual count of new mails.

This, and probably the 'new' field in BUFFY types, are what concern me.

The non-IMAP case probably explains why a short used to be sufficient
