 > I'll continue to debug further, but my first suspect is that get_all_msg_headers() method. Thanks for the report,

No problem - glad you see it too :)

BTW: Not sure if it is related, but is the result of get_all_msg_headers() supposed to be read-only?

Originally I was iterating through through that result to update the messages, but I was noticing the following behaviour:

* call get_all_msg_headers()
* iterate through each item "for (hdr in hdrs)"
* set hdr.tag to "foo"
* pass hdr to put_msg_header();

But the items were not updating.

If, for example hdr.tag = "bar", if I had a writeln(hdr.tag) after setting it to "foo", it would report "foo". But if I JSON.stringify(hdr), the result shows that the tags field is still "bar".

My workaround was to redo a call to "get_msg_header(hdr.number)" and use that result to update and pass back to put_msg_header(), but (IMHO) that is a waste calls (if get_all_msg_headers is not meant to be r/o)... I also tried JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(hdr)) that worked too.

Not sure if that is related?
