Ok, FYI I found a better way to do this. I'm still learning about 
Maildir, so I found the explanation for what I was seeing. This works 
better without having to wait:


{
         cc Maildir/.Junk
         `for m in ${HOME}/Maildir/.Junk/new/*; do mv $m 
${HOME}/Maildir/.Junk/cur/${m##*/new/}:2,S; done`
         exit
}

Hope this helps someone reading the archive.
