Re: odd display behavior

Thanks Pawel.

One additional note - after restarting Balsa, it again shows blanks  
instead of zeros for that newly (re)created maildir mailbox., which is  
currently empty.  I have no idea if that simplifies or confuses the  
issue.  It's obviously only a cosmetic issue, as long as it no longer  
shows explicitly wrong numbers.
