Actually, the guy I Cc'd had the exact same issue. It may only affect
those with 25000 or more emails in their INBOX. I don't know if he has
that many too.

Although, I do have one filter rule that I use for when I need to
extract patches from my email. I hit Ctrl-F to execute the filter on
the selected email that saves the file and runs an awk script to remove
all the email gobbly gook and make it into a real patch, and scp's it
to my work machine.

From the "Configuration -> Filtering..." menu:

   Name: apply-patch
   Account: All
   Condition: all
   Action: execute "/home/rostedt/bin/scp-to-fedora.sh <%F"

Where my script "scp-to-fedora.sh" runs the awk script and scp's the
file to my fedora box. But when the bug happens, I don't see anything
being copied over.

OK, I'll run the --debug when I get a chance. And maybe I'll purposely
trigger this bug. Thanks for the advice.

Off-topic: I take it that the policy on this mailing list is to strip
Cc's and only reply to the list? I wonder why that is preferred. Do
people really read all emails on the list to see if any of the emails
applies to them? I'm subscribed to 15 lists and can barely get through
the emails that are sent to me directly that I need to look at, that I
have no time to read the lists I'm subscribed to. I read them maybe
once a month. The only reason that I saw this email was because I
remembered that I sent a message to the list ;-)
