Re: Prototype 50c Released!

Hi, Vlad :)

OK, let's see what we have here...

Yes, I understand that - the messages stay on the server albeit they get
moved to a different location. But here's what I see:

> # Empty bulk folder when logout?
> # 1 (Yes) / 0 (No!)
> BULK=0

To me, BULK=0 would NOT move them to the Trash.

Yes, that would. :) I think I now see what's happening... LEAVE=0 (which
is what I have) applies to BOTH the BOX *and* DIGEST. This is bad. I as
a user was expecting it to tell me what's in the Bulk folder (as well as
performing the usual Inbox operations) and it seems to be doing that OK
now. But I didn't at all expect it to *do* anything with those Bulk
messages once I was notified of their existence. What I would like to do
is, once I know what's in the Bulk box, run YoSucker with some command
line parameters to retrieve specific messages from there. Something
like:

$ YoSucker BOX=Bulk GETMSG=1,3,5-8,10,12 DOTRASH=ALL

Which would retrieve the specified messages and then move the entire
contents of the Bulk folder to the Trash folder. I suppose a paramter of
DOTRASH=RETRIEVED that would trash just what was sucked down, leaving
everything else. I'd set up an alias or a script or something so I
didn't have to type all that each time.

Whatchya think?
