Dear devs, I have been using mutt exclusively for over a decade. It’s a great piece of work! And thanks for maintaining it.
There was an irritating glitch, which I have also seen mentioned a few times online. It is that if you have mutt open, pack up your laptop, and go somewhere else, mutt is completely unresponsive and needs to be killed. I tracked down what was causing this and to my satisfaction my fix works. Would you be interested in this patch? And, if the intended behaviour is that it should hang like this, then perhaps my fix could be implemented as a config variable. (It’s basically just a simple timeout + retry mechanism in the socket_connect function). Also, you’ve probably talked about this many times before, but is there a reason not to implement a config option to call a command when there is new mail? I have done this locally and am happy with how it works. Grts! Allen
