Documentation

Non-nil means that the message number width is determined dynamically.

If you've created your own format to handle long message numbers, you'll be pleased to know you no longer need it since MH-E adapts its internal format based upon the largest message number if this option is on (the default). This option may only be turned on when mh-scan-format-file is set to "Use MH-E scan Format".

If you prefer fixed-width message numbers, turn off this option and call mh-set-cmd-note with the width specified by your format file
(see mh-scan-format-file). For example, the default width is 4, so
you would use "(mh-set-cmd-note 4)".

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in MH-E version
7.0.
