Hi Norm,

Note that the default for refile(1mh) is -nolink, which rmm(1mh)s
the message from the source folder (+gone). It does not rm(1)
it. The result is that you will still have 2 files with hard
links to the same inode, but the old +gone message file will be
renamed. If you want to have just 1 (hard) link to those
contents, you'll also need to explicitly specify refile(1mh)'s
-unlink option (because -nounlink is the default).
Also, check your ~/.mh_profile file to see whether you've
specified "refile" options (particularly ones that might conflict
with your expectations).
Yes, this is based on the confusion I was going through a couple
years back that the list (and Ralph) helped me figure out. B-)
I'm hoping you can avoid that. B-)
