The biggest one is changing long-standing behavior of a very often used function. Mutt users can be a conservative bunch, and this change could goof up macros or who knows what. My days could be numbered if I pushed it without entertaining any feedback first. :-) Also, the file browser didn't even work if no mailboxes were defined. I've changed it to not abort and display an empty list, but this could still be confusing to newish users, or even users who define no mailboxes and for whom it "just worked" in the past. > You can redirect me to another forum if mutt-users is not appropriate. I've Cc'ed you on the post to mutt-dev. (Sorry about that if you're subscribed; I do see your signature). As I mentioned there, I *do* think the patch makes sense, but it may not be much liked by others. -- Kevin J.
