Package: libmail-box-perl
Version: 2.073-1
Severity: normal
Many of my (Sylpheed created and maintained) MH folders are incorrectly
autodetected as mboxes, resulting in subsequent chaos. The attached
simple recursive directory traversal code works fine when "type => 'mh'"
is specified, but without it many of my MH folders are identified as
mboxes, and the script doesn't work correctly.
