thanks for the tips.
i've got it roughly working, but only if i specify set folder in .muttrc *and* specify
the -f option:
- I must either set $MAIL env var or set -f, or it won't open the correct starting
screen (regardless of the set folder variable in .muttrc).
- I must set the folder variable in .muttrc for 'c' to show me a list within the
starting
variable (it does not use what i had in $MAIL/-f).
seems like a bug (or feature whose rationale escapes me). but anyway, it works
well enough for me to proceed and find other things to frustrate me :).
for the record, here is my -v:
