Interesting. My version of mutt doesn't include that comment.
Package: mutt
Status: hold ok installed
Priority: standard
Section: mail
Installed-Size: 2709
Maintainer: Waldemar Brodkorb (Linux rulez!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Version: 1.3.17-1
The argument also seems specious as there are other body-scan methods
which can be invoked in index, such as color scans. My muttrc includes
the following lines:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
folder-hook . "color index yellow black '~b \"^Content-Type: text/html\" "
folder-hook sas-l "color index cyan black '~b linux | ~b unix"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
...both of which require scanning the message body.
Anyone got the straight dope on this?
Peace.
