I'm afraid you have to maintain your own patch reverting this if you can't find other ways to deal with it. The point is that it's not a new feature because in that case the mutt way would have been to add stuff but the make old behaviour the new default, i.e. you wouldn't have noticed it at all. For example, many users are unaware of the fact that $check_mbox_size exists as result of turning the compile-time option into a runtime one, because mutt (by default) continues to use atime vs. mtime to detect new mail. This is a bug fix and you, as well as some others, have got used to a bug. As has been said on mutt-dev discussing the change, this "new" behaviour is default for maildir and mh forever. Rocco
