Hm yes. But I would be pleased, that mutt would also indiate on the
list of new mail (after start), 

-senders address
-subject
-date
-size

Do I have to understand, that these kind of features are not supported
by mutt ? I guess I mislaiden. 

What do I have to change in my .muttrc ?

Naturally the above applies also to the other mailfolders. I am running
procmail/fetchmail and sendmail.

Many thanks for your help.
Regards.
