While I've never noticed it in the context of "folder -pack" (because I
don't use it) I think it would be nice if it's aligned properly like
other nmh commands try to accomplish.
Not sure if this is related, but I have a similar experience with the
folders command. For example, I have a folder OpenSourceML where I stuff
various subfolders of things I'm subscribed to and on my 80 character
wide terminal it seems to be having trouble figuring out the width. It
seems to be generating a line that is exactly 81 characters long and so
in my terminal it wraps the output exactly on the final period (.)
leaving a much longer (visually) list of output than otherwise is
necesary that looks like:
$ folders +OpenSourceML
FOLDER # MESSAGES RANGE ; CUR (OTHERS)
OpenSourceML+ has no messages ; (others)
.
OpenSourceML/Bind has 338 messages (1- 338); cur= 338; (others)
.
OpenSourceML/OpenBSD has no messages ; (others)
.
OpenSourceML/fossil has 16425 messages (1-16425); (others)
.
OpenSourceML/nongnu has no messages ; (others)
.
Is this perhaps an off-by-one error? Aside from that everything seems to
be impressively aligned just fine.
