This is all true, but it doesn't answer the question at hand.  I have not
had mush die or mangle a folder with more than 1000 messages.  Mush makes
maticulous checks that it doesn't.  If the folder does have more than 1000
msgs in it, then it won't read them, but it won't lose them either.  If mush
would happen to core dump, it never updates or removes a folder.

If you have a problem with having more than 1000 (MAXMSGS) messages in a
folder and can recreate a situation where your folder gets mangled, then
please send me info about it.

(BTW, mush also checks for full filesystem errors as well)
