Odd bug/feature with mixed mbox and maildir
I keep my mail in two separate hierarchies, all incoming mail is
delivered (via a perl script which does procmail sort of things) to
a series of maildir mailboxes in ~/Mail and ~/Mail/lists.
All the mail that I save for any reason is saved in mbox format below
~/savedMail. I have "set mbox_type=mbox" in my muttrc, mutt
recognises the incoming mail in maildir format without problems.
However if I 'c' directly to one of the maildir mailboxes, entering
its full path then I get to see the following:-
-> ../ Oct 04 11:11 4.0K
cur/ Oct 04 16:36 0.1K
new/ Oct 04 16:36 0.1K
tmp/ Oct 04 15:34 0.1K
I.e. mutt hasn't recognised that it's a maildir. If I navigate there
via the directory above (or even go to .. and then back from the abve)
mutt recognises it correctly as a maildir.
