Package: mutt
Version: 1.3.18-1
Severity: wishlist
With the -e switch, mutt can be used for a lot of useful, automated
mailbox munging tasks. Unfortunatly, none of these tasks work if mutt's
standard input is not connected to a tty. If stdin is anything else,
mutt enters noninteractive mail sending mode.
This means that none of the handy things I have recipies to make mutt do
with mutt -e commands work in cron jobs.
I would like a new flag to be added, that forces mutt to enter
interactive mode even if there is no controlling terminal.

thanks
Upstream didn't touch the bug for 8 years, today there are lot of tools
to manipulate your mailbox so probably it will be faster to use them rather
than waiting this bug to be fixed :-)
Cheers
Antonio
