is there any way to make expansion of the directory name (using $_) work
properly with Maildir folders?
from the zsh man page under "mailpath":
The message will undergo parameter expansion, command substitution
and arithmetic expansion with the variable $_ defined as the
name of the file that has changed.
however if i put:
mailpath=($HOME/Maildir\?"New mail." ~/mail/\?"New mail in $_. ")
in my .zshrc,
the message I get is:
New mail in path.
Same if i do something like:
mailpath=($HOME/Maildir\?"New mail." ~/mail/ndn:cron\?"New mail in $_.")
zugzug% echo $ZSH_VERSION
4.0.4
am i doing something wrong? if not, is there a way to make this work
anyway?

this "works for me[TM]":
export MAILPATH="$HOME/Maildir?You have new mail in
\$_.:$HOME/Maildir/.maildir2?You have new mail in
\$_.:$HOME/Maildir/.maildir3?You have new mail in
\$_.:$HOME/Maildir/.maildir4?You have new mail in
\$_.:$HOME/Maildir/.maildir5?You have new mail in
\$_.:$HOME/Maildir/.maildir6?You have new mail in \$_."
zsh 4.0.4

this probably is in some document somewhere but i remember when i set my
maildirs up it wasn't totally obvious to me that you had to escape the
$.
