errrrr,  allow me to send you a baked masonry item....

You need to modify your 'scan' form in ~/.mh/whatever.  It just means you've
overflowed the print-width.

Here's mine, works for 5 digit numbers:

	%5(msg)%<(cur)+%| %>%<{replied}-%|%<{encrypted}E%| %>%>\
	%(void(rclock{date}))\
	%<(gt 15768000)%03(month{date})%02(year{date})%|\
	%<(gt 604800)%02(mday{date})%03(month{date})%|\
	%<(gt 86400) %(day{date}) %|\
	%02(hour{date}):%02(min{date})%>%>%>\
	%<{date} %|*%>\
	%<(mymbox{from})To:%14(friendly{to})%|%17(friendly{from})%>  \
	%{subject}%<{body}<<%{body}%>

the '5' on the first line is the operative change.

If I change that to "2" and do scan, I get:
