 now wouldn't that be nice ?

There's a patch available on Brandon Long's "mutt insanity"
site (linked from mutt.org). 

quote

Folder Count This patch causes mutt to count the number of
messages and new messages in a folder when you are using the
mutt Folder Mode (dirlist.c). This has a lot of overhead,
and is slow (especially over NFS), but if you have cycles to
spare, or few mail folders, this is for you. 

First Version Patched: 0.47
Author: Brandon Long 
PGP Effects: None

/quote

The patch is targeted at an older version of mutt (1.0 or
so, IIRC), but it shouldn't be too hard to adopt it for a
current version.

If you try it, I would like to know how it works.

Another approach I've seen on one of the linked mutt pages
is a script, which uses procmail's log to determine the
number of new messages.

Axel

Ack. But before reinventing something, it seems always
advisible to check if there's alreay a solution. Finally,
this can be accomplished by a discussing the problem here...

 that's more constructive than a self-confessed "uppish tone". It would seem
 you've decided to do that so I don't really see a problem or a need for such
 a tone.

On the other hand, meticulously insisting on an "It does what
it says" point of view could be perceived as an "uppish
tone", too.

I would also like to see the discussed feature, so I'm
thinking about my contribution to an appropriate solution.

Hi Conor!

*  Conor Daly [EMAIL PROTECTED] [010118 09:37]:
 OTOH, I did a little script that checks for "attach" style keywords in
 your message and then checks for a "content disposition attachment" type
 line in the message and if it doesn't find one, pop's up an xmessage to
 ask if you want to send without an attachment.  I haven't posted the
 script but if anyone wants to try it out, just holler!

YES! Sorry for yelling, but you asked to holler :-)

Perhaps you could find a place on your home page?

Thanks and regards,

Axel
