I am using mh 6.8, with the following setup:
version: MH 6.8 #3[UCI] (valhalla) of Mon Jan 25 10:25:46 EST 1993
options: [ATTVIBUG] [BIND] [BSD42] [BSD43] [DBMPWD] [DUMB]
[FOLDPROT='"0700"'] [LOCKF] [MHE] [MHRC] [MIME] [MSGID]
[MSGPROT='"0600"'] [RENAME] [RPATHS] [SENDMTS] [SMTP] [SUN40]
[TYPESIG=void] [VSPRINTF] [ZONEINFO]
Question 1: According to the manual, %{folder} is a valid component
for scan listings, which gives me to understand that I should see some
output for the following command:
% scan -format "%{folder}" +inbox last
but all I get is a single blank line. Where am I going wrong?
Question 2: I am trying to coax a numeric argument to be left
justified, but to no avail. For instance, I want to output "+inbox/41"
for the 41st message in +inbox, and "+inbox/141" for the 141th with just
one mh-format. Is this possible? (easily? :-)
Thanks for any help at all,
Kannan
