% Well, first I was interested only in a new mail indicator, but as I

The script sounds like a handy one; I can even see how it might lay out.
Write it and submit it! :-)

Nope; it's in the file -- but when mutt tells you about new mail it
doesn't tell you anything about the mail in the mailbox but instead
simply that the mailbox has been written to but not read from. You can
fake new mail by using touch with -c (or is it -a) to test mutt...
