I'm sorry for the noise, Alain, I fired off before noticing reponses in #mutt explaining what it really does. ;-/

Heh, my original intention was not to suggest implementing it with a var rather than a function (but dropping it altogether ;), but now that I understand, it boils down to the question: what's more user-friendly, less vars or less functions. Given that there is no easy way to "clean up" the function list (== wipe all default bindings and have just the own ones), the list is already very (too) long to easily overview it. And since this feature request is a special case (sorry Alain, I don't expect this to be the "new way" for changing mailboxes, priorized mailboxes are too useful ;), I guess it's not too much to ask interested parties to rtfm about it to deviate from a default. I prefer this to be a variable rather than a function, too. With macros using that var both functions could be emulated. -- © Rado S. -- You must provide YOUR effort for your goal!
