Sometimes I also have that problem to remember which key I pressed and which macro was executed, so I lost track of my mails and I also purged some mails by chance. Honestly, I am also not fully convinced by the $ status. It is not meaningful enough. I'd like to note that when a mail is saved to another *box the status line fickers 'Copying ...... something'. I can't read it, its too quick for my local mailbox. Maybe a solution to that problem is to simply not clear the status line. Or even better: Maybe I want to see a log of the current mutt session (in a quake console style), and maybe also keep a real log of what I did ... What do you think? -- Bastian
