I use Sylpheed-claws for mail (v8.2 package version) and I receive this weird message from the local mailer daemon that I never got in v8.1:
'This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created with the data reset to initial values.'
What's with this? I do have root local mail sent to me (saves logging in as root) but I never had this behaviour in v8.1. I get hundreds of emails a day, many of which I delete as I read through because the thread does not interest me and it is very annoying to have to avoid this message.
Have you thought about setting up filters? I can see how simply stuffing everything you get into your inbox would be a nuicance. Filtering all mail from suse-linux-e into a separate folder, from linux-kernel into another or whatever it is you receive is one way to keep things sane
Can I filter it out of my inbox? I know nothing about it? It's only a minor annoyance but advice as to how to avoid it would be nice.
Have you by any chance been playing with pine? I know pine creates a message like that. I don't know of any modern mailer that uses it, so you can probably just delete it
