Ohhhhhh, you're using the sidebar patch? Ick. Well, it's quite likely that the sidebar patch changes the behavior I described. To get details on it, though, you'll have to ask the patch's authors (who, last I checked, refuse to support their patch). >> Depends on the status/condition of your hard drive.

Rebuilding a search index (for example, the `locate` function on linux/BSD or something even more comprehensive, like MacOS's "Spotlight" feature) is DEFINITELY disk-dependent, and has little to do with your RAM. Secondly, you may be unaware, but some disks actually have their own hardware cache (which behaves like RAM, but is hidden from the OS). > 1.5.17 which is the one in the ubuntu repo. Umm... well, according to Ubuntu's web page, 1.5.20 is the one in their repo (http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/mutt). 1.5.17 is about three years old, and may very well still have the bug I mentioned (I don't see mention of it in mutt's UPDATING file, though). ~Kyle - -- If after I depart this vale you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner, and wink your eye at some homely girl. -- H.L.
