I tried this before I ever patched refile, and I just tried it again to
make sure I didn't screw up the first time. Verdict: Nope, this doesn't
do what I want.
What I want is for refile to use my default folder only if I don't specify
one on the command line. If I specify one, I want that one used instead,
hence the use of the term 'default'. Doing what you suggest results in the
correct behavior when I don't specify a folder on the command line. However,
if I *do* specify one, my letter gets refiled in two places: the so-called
default specified in .mh_profile *and* the one I specified.
I'd love not to have had to screw around with the source, but I could think
of no other way to do what I wanted.
Nice try, though.
