v2, following feedback from mgorny: Added a short explanation on what |
| 5 |
the issue actually is and how it is fixed. Left the sed incantation |
| 6 |
as-is because it comes from upstream and I do not want to break it. |

| 27 |
+Development versions of mu between 1.7.18 and 1.7.25 have a bug causing |
| 28 |
+mail file names to sometimes get mangled after moving messages between |
| 29 |
+directories. Symptoms include unread messages never being marked as |
| 30 |
+read. |
| 31 |
+ |
| 32 |
+Affected messages have the ':2,' flag appended multiple times. Using the |
| 33 |
+following commands, users can remove the extra flags. |
| 34 |
+ |
| 35 |
+ find ~/Maildir -name '*:2,*:*' | |
| 36 |
+ sed "s/\(\([^:]*\)\(:2,\)\{1,\}\(:2,.*$\)\)/mv '\0' '\2\4'/" \ |
| 37 |
+ > rename.sh |
| 38 |
+ # review rename.sh. empty file indicates that you are unaffected |
| 39 |
+ sh rename.sh |
