Right ;)

Furthermore: IMO the '=' shortcut was created for ease of use: not
having to type the same directory name over and over again.

IMO it was _not_ created to "softly" force you into your default mail
folder.

But I _can_ imagine, that for people who use local mail only, it could
be handy, iff the function that automagically displays a folder with
new mail is preserved.
