thanks for your answer. It is unfortunate for me, but I understand your
position. (I was maintaining Haskell data structures like Data.Map for
a while, and keeping API versatile but not bloated is a challenge.)

But if you find some more users of a display_hook in a future, I am
still interested in seeing it added :-) Or if you want to add a function
to just peek at new mail, i.e., not marking it as read automatically,
I would also be a user.

Thanks,
cheers,
Milan Straka

PS: It seems "consider mail completed when watched" is a predominant
approach; personally, many mails seem to include smaller or larger tasks,
so "only consider mail completed after manually marked" seems
like a reasonable alternative.
