Regarding mmh [1] [2]:

It occasionally happens that I am in my mmh folder "trash", search in my bash
history and accidentally execute something like "rmm `pick -from foo`".

I often use this command in the "inbox" folder, but sometimes it happens that
I have switched to trash, forgot about this new context and attempt to delete
stuff from the inbox in a different tmux window in which I had at some past
executed "scan" on the inbox. For me this is practically always unintended,
as mails are then gone forever.

I have created this script to prevent me from accidentally deleting stuff:

	$ alias rmm
	rmm=/home/michi/.bin/safe-rmm.sh

	$ cat /home/michi/.bin/safe-rmm.sh 
	#!/bin/bash -eu

	CURRENT_FOLDER=$(cat ~/.mmh/context | sed -e 's/Current-Folder: //g')
	if [[ "$CURRENT_FOLDER" == "trash" || "$CURRENT_FOLDER" == "sent" ]];
	then
		echo "You're in $CURRENT_FOLDER!" >&2
		exit 1
	fi

	rmm "$@"
