    +Title: Mu 1.7.23 Causing Maildir Corruption
    +Author: Matthew Smith <[email protected]>
    +Posted: 2022-06-26
    +Revision: 1
    +News-Item-Format: 2.0
    +Display-If-Installed: net-mail/mu-1.7.23
    +
    +Development versions of mu between 1.7.18 and 1.7.25 have a bug causing
    +mail file names to sometimes get mangled after moving messages between +directories. Symptoms include unread messages never being marked as
    +read.
    +
    +Users can check for corruption by checking to see if the following
    +command produces any output:
    +
    + find ~/Maildir -name

    +

    +
    +Users can correct the corruption by running the following commands:
    +
    + find ~/Maildir -name '*:2,*:*' |
    + sed "s/\(\([^:]*\)\(:2,\)\{1,\}\(:2,.*$\)\)/mv '\0' '\2\4'/" \

    Would be nice to explain what the expression does in human way. Also, I
    think using `sed -E` would make this more readable.
