The last time I remember this getting heavily discussed, I thought someone proposed the approach of having mutt simply expose the current folder name etc as variables that could be expanded in a shell expansion called from a folder hook. This seems a lot more general and elegant to me. > How deep is the header cache support these days? Just maildir? Everything > including IMAP? It covers maildir, IMAP, and I believe POP.
