I can understand that people might think it is bad[1]. Nevertheless, the
other way is quite a hassle, and not an option for me. I need a way to
tell mutt to view these Mails without any extra effort. Also the 'M' is
gone, and I'd like to be able to distinguish non-text mails from the
index.
All in all, this makes mutt very unusable for me. *sigh*
CU,
Sec
[1]. I personally don't think so. Mails had quite appropriately an 'M'
next to them, so you could see that they invoke something. And, whoever
puts something dangerous in his own mailcop deserves what he gets. IMHO
