        scan.MMDDYY and scan.YYYYMMDD (to try to regain space taken by
        extra date info) was ill-conceived.  It's not that tough to get
        past 999 messages, though I imagine it's rather rare to exceed
-       9999.  Changed these to 4.  I had already removed the "replied /
-       encrypted" column in YYYYMMDD, but this time I removed it on
-       MMDDYY as well (I've never seen it used...).
+       9999.  Changed these to 4.  Also put the "replied / encrypted"
+       column back in YYYYMMDD -- I've never seen it show anything but a
+       space, but that space is useful if you use scan, grep, and awk
+       (with the default field separator) to grab message numbers (I know
+       -- pick should really be used for these purposes...).
