I dont mind multiple mutt windows.

Appending '-d' to my msmtp makes mutt+msmtp more informative when something bad occurs which is more important to me than having a few more windows. I generally dont like popups from libnotify or from anything else, but thanks for the tip anyway. :-) > -- > oooO::::::::: > (..)::::::::: > :\.(:::Oooo:: > ::\_)::(..):: > :::::::)./::: > ::::::(_/::::
