I recently had a mail exchange with Marco d'Itri regarding the default setup of Mutt. More specifically, that it hides the Date header and displays instead the Delivery-Date date. I present below the original conversation, which can be found in its complete form at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=193812 .
- - Me - I wonder why you put the "ignore date" directive in /etc/Muttrc, I find the Date header much more useful than Delivery-Date, which is what I was getting from the MTA. Therefore my suggestion is to change the line that reads "ignore date" to "ignore delivery-date". - - Marco - Because I like it this way. - - Me - I usually respect Debian maintainers' decisions regarding to the default settings provided with their packages, but I think this particular setting is being handled insensitively. From a user's point of view, I inquire what -besides sheer personal preference- is the reason to hide a header from the user which every other single mail program with the slightest hint of a user interface displays by default. I sincerely don't mean to cause trouble, but I won't hesitate to publicize this argument in Debian user's mailing list unless countered with a more respectful answer. - - Marco - Feel free to do so, maybe somebody will provide more convincing arguments than you did. - - END -
If you agree with me and can give Marco more convincing arguments, please step in.
