[comp.mail.elm] bug in index screen while using "limit" and new mail is received

et@tornado.Berkeley.EDU (03/29/91)

I'm using elm2.3pl11.  After entering elm and using "l" to limit the
messages I see, I'm reading them.  Let's say after limiting, there
are 5 messages on the index screen.  All of a sudden, a new mail message
arrives--elm resyncs and puts that message at the top of the screen
screen (even though it doesn't correspond to the "limit" I specified).

Now, the fun part is that I can read the new message and the first 4
of the old messages, but the last one listed is inaccessible.  If I
receive another new message, (i.e. TWO new messages) then the last TWO
are inaccessible.

This doesn't bother me in the least, since I can just resync and relimit,
but it is a bug (or perhaps an undocumented feature ;-) and I thought I'd
report it.
