Agree. Mutt already has a bewildering number of options. Most exist for good reason, but I often think it would be a good idea to thoroughly go over all the existing options and reevaluate whether each one really provides value... and eliminate the ones that don't. Of course, in probably all cases, the three people that use a particular obscure option are probably on this list and will vehemently object. ;-) > My other concern is whether this new option should be predicated on the > $beep_new option. Does it make sense to want to beep for buffy > notifications, but not for the currently open mailbox? I think that's a fine question, and to me the answer is no. I tend to think that as we've lived this long without splitting out the option, probably there's not enough people who'd care about this to justify its inclusion... -- Derek D.
