Subject: Re: check for new mail in mult. folders

In comp.mail.pine, some queer sunspot activity fomented [email-masked] to pen:

 -  I have been using procmail to filter my incoming mail into
 -  different inbox folders in pine.  Everything works fine, 
 -  except, I can't tell if I have new mail in these folders.

Pine at the moment doesn't check for new mail other than INBOX.

 -  When I use frm or nfrm from the elm package, they
 -  erroneously report that I have read mail in these folders
 -  when there is new/unread mail in them.

nfrm -s new $HOME/mail/mailfolderthatneedstobecheckedfornewmail

You can also use unread instead of new in the above command.
