Comment(by mszudzik):
Instead of "hacking up mutt to suppress the error", perhaps mutt needs a
fundamental new feature? In particular, I am suggesting that inside of a
macro, there needs to be a way to check the number of messages in a
folder, and to perform different actions depending on the result. I see
two possible implementations:
(1) Introduce patterns for matching the number of messages in a folder.
(2) Introduce an error-trapping mechanism for macros. In other words,
there needs to be a way to say "if function x fails, then do y". This
would also solve bugs [http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/2134 2134] and
[http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3187 3187].
