Unfortunately it doesn't really help. Maybe someone on here will be
adventuresome enough to make such a patch? I certainly don't know the
internals of MUTT enough to do so currently.
Unfortunately this leaves me in a rather annoying place.
I have to either (as I'm doing now) use pine and deal with it's poor
handling of PGP/GPG and eventually find or write a patch which makes pine
handle PGP/MIME bodies, or I have to learn a new mailer, deal with it's
poor handling of folders and eventually find or write a patch which gives
it the folder handling I want.
If there is someone who wants to take on (or collaborate) on taking on
this second task, I'd love to discuss it and help with it as I consider
myself a fair-to-decent coder :)
Thanks again for the help.
