One particularly annoying use is on my local FreeCycle list where you never reply to the list anyway. I do take your point though, it *could* affect other people. -- Chris Green

I use the sidebar patch myself and the only performance problem I see with my mutt is that loading mailboxes with quite a few messages takes some time. I don't know, however, if this is related to the side bar patch.

Aside: back in 2006 I implemented something like this for 1.5.12 by incorporating a Lua interpreter into mutt. When displaying a subject line, mutt would convert the message's ENVELOPE data into a Lua table, call a Lua function "get_printable_subject", and then use whatever string came back as the displayed subject line. The actual message file/data was never modified, so when replying it would still use the original subject line. > > [MDA] removes those annoying "[]" insertions in the subject > > lines Ironically my goal was to _add_ those [list] tags to the lists that didn't already have them. I normally use a single inbox for all mail and I wanted my lists consistently marked. The Lua code looked something like this: function is_to(envelope,addr) return envelope.to ~= nil and envelope.to[1].mailbox == addr end function is_xubuntu_message(envelope) return is_to(envelope,'[EMAIL PROTECTED]') end function get_printable_subject(envelope) local subject = envelope.subject if subject == nil then subject = '' end if is_xubuntu_message(envelope) then subject = '[xubuntu] ' .. subject end ...many more cases... return subject end It could certainly have done the opposite -- searching for and cutting out the [list] tags instead. I also had mutt call a "get_matchable_subject" Lua function when matching a subject line. My Lua code defined get_matchable_subject() to be the same as get_printable_subject(), so searches and limit operations were able to see the fake [list] tags as well. Eventually I reinstalled the OS and started using the newer mutt supplied by the distribution vendor (without my Lua hooks). I've been meaning to rebase the patches on a more recent mutt but just haven't gotten around to it yet. -Dave Dodge
bug: sidebar shown while sidebar_visible=no
Hi, the Debian package mutt-patched includes the sidebar patch. But I don't want it and set sidebar_visible=no in my muttrc. When I start mutt with a e‐mail address to compose a mail.
