*grin* % % Also, I've been using mutt for quite a few years.

I find that much more annoying than having to pop Bah; if you know you want to go to ! then just c!<enter> and you're there. % over to mutt from time to time. The problem is that you want the best of both worlds, but that hasn't yet been coded. A script which keeps a little hash table of last-access and last-mod times for specified files and routinely compares the latest values with each other and the old values would take care of discovering new mail without getting in mutt's way; you could then have *that* at the front of your screen session and still have mutt's display up to date. I've actually grown tired of having all of my mail folders tell me about new mail everywhere, so I changed my mailboxes command to a folder-hook that only gets called in $spoolfile and not elsewhere. Of course, since I use screen I don't kill mutt often, so it hasn't yet taken effect, and because the 1.3.25 that I've been stably using while fighting out the patch cocktail doesn't have Nicolas's unmailboxes command, so I don't *really* know how it will work out in the long run ;-) % % OT: I love screen. It's *awesome*! I've been using it forever and really came to depend on it when I was in lousy dialup country and kept getting knocked off :-) % % - Myrddin % ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ % ICQ: 22404528 Why Vegan? http://www.firstmagic.com/vegan % ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
