Package: mutt

I sometimes use mutt to read pop mail (in a not discouraged way, I
think: mutt -f pop://[EMAIL PROTECTED]; different from 'G': retrieve pop
mail).

It occasionally checks for new messages; it seems to do so at the
first user activity with the message index after 30 seconds or so of
not having checked for new mail.

Each time, it does "Looking up _host_", where _host_ is my POP server.
It seems to me that it could save the IP resulting from the initial
gethostbyname(), and never do another lookup.  Unless this behaviour
is the result of some more generalized positive behavious.
