well, as soon as the installation of some little program makes the companie's own programs stop working then it is time to install something better, isn't it? time to exchange[tm] the management! ObMutt: can mutt display its own process id? the display of the porcess id would be helpful when there's a problem with mutt. the admin could add this number to the status_format in /etc/Muttrc so that users will see it and will catch it with a screen hardcopy. bug reports might then be handled much quicker..
