 Hi,

 I'm trying to delete some 200k messages from a 240k IMAP folder.
 Tagging ~m1-10000 and deleting/expunging works. For larger selections
 (I first tried 200k and then 50k), mutt fails with

 Fatal error: word too long

 and closes the folder.

 Mutt version 1.5.17, both tarball and hg HEAD.

Comment:

 Nope, that's fine. I'll try to put together a patch to clamp command size,
 at least for flag storage which is the only thing that currently makes
 very long commands.
