Hi Ken,
I thought this seemed a bit familiar. After failing to get the
`advanced search' on the archive working, I found
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2017-08/msg00064.html
the hard way. `but uses four, not three'.

I agree nmh ships thinking %4 is big enough for anybody. That's fine.
Your folders don't have any messages numbers that need more than four
digits so why do you notice this bug? The overwide formatting only
occurs on overflow; four digits, four wide, is fine.
$ for w in 3 4 5; do

_?141_ [Should be _?41_.]
_3141_
_ 3141_
