Flagging them would just add clutter. Anything else is worth noting, though. (Except maybe those dopey gif's). How about a config item to specify attachment types not worth flagging ? When Mutt opens a mailbox, it doesn't read the headers of the attachments and thus don't know their type, or even how many there are. -- Byrial
[wish] flag 'A' for multiple attachments
* F.Baubetm" ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [991117 18:05]: Another quibble from an EEL (ex-Elm lamer ;-) Elm always had a flag in the main display that told me a file had an attachment, and when I viewed the message, there was a notice there too. Mutt doesn't seem to do this, and I've missed attachments :-( Mutt once did this - but the flag was dropped. :-( I think this was done as you'd see the flag on almost all mails - even thought they'd only have just a single one which might just be text/plain. Then again I'd definitely like to see that messages have multiple attachments, too... Anyone got a config fix ? Anyone? Sven

That is, you'd have to pretty much scan the folder itself to determine which mails have attachments and which do not. And that is expensive, over a network. I use fetchmail to deliver my mail locally, and I'm certainly willing to take a performance hit if I could have a cool feature like an attachment flag. Would it be possible to implement it as a variable we can set and unset? Something like 'set attachment_flag' ? If nobody wants to do it, I'd certainly be willing to give it a shot. -- == Nathan Cullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] ==
