Hi all,

I am used to let procmail sort incoming messages
into separate folders and start mutt with the
"-y" option, such that I get a menu containing the folders
specified by the "mailboxes" command.

I have the following key bindings to emulate the behavior
of tin, which is my favorite newsreader.

bind  generic   <right> select-entry
bind  pager     <left>  exit
bind  index     <right> display-message

This allows me to navigate through my mailfolders and
mail messages with mutt like I do through my subscribed
newsgroups and postings with tin.

So I can work through my mailfolders one after the
other. However - unlike tin - when leaving a mailfolder,
the cursor always jumps back to highlight the *first* folder
in the list of mailfolders instead of the most recent
one that I have just left.

So what?

Well, I have about 20 folders and if I have just left - let's
say - the 17-th folder, I have to scroll all the way down
to reach the 18-th folder (remember: I have already done this
16 times before). I know that I can alternatively enter the number
of the folder, but it would be much more efficient just to hit
the cursor-down-cursor-right key sequence to enter the next folder.

To make a long story short: How can I make the cursor highlight
the last visited mailbox in the folder view rather than the
first one in the list?

TIA.

Regards - Juergen.
