In my experience, Mutt works great on Mac but for one signfiicant
flaw: in the Mailboxes view, it does not properly mark mailboxes with
new mail with an "N" indicator -- even though it does show individual
messages correctly as new in the Message Index view.

I just migrated from Windows XP to Mac OSX 10.6, where I use mutt 1.5.21 with
Firefox 4.0.1.
Under Windows XP, I developed a style of working in which email threads, saved
as MBOX files with descriptive names (e.g., with time stamps) would
automatically get put into my to-do list and presented to

Dear all,
I use mutt with Cygwin and Windows XP.
Until Firefox release 2.0.0.12, I very happily used the plug-in
MIME Edit [1] to associate the extension ".mbox" with a batch
file, mbox.bat:

fortably.
In contrast, the one thing I did like about Netscape mail
back when I was using it was that it would recognize the URLs
in plain-text mail and make them clickable, so you could
immediately call up the Web page and see it the way it was
intended to be seen. I could never go
Rock Eater News Service, which lists URLs in plain
text -- some of which are not readable with w3m and lynx).
Is it possible to direct mutt to view plain-text mail in a
non-console browser such as Mozilla? Or have others found
console-based options to be satisfactory?

surprise to me is that 250k infected file which appeared
in my c:/tmp. What kind of things does Mutt park there,
and where could that big file have come from?? Surely Mutt
would not have uncompressed anything without telling me.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Does Mutt need
to have a "%"-escaped username or username@domain, and are
the %T and %F "escapes" a cross-platform (*nix/Win32) way to
get these?
Or am I in the wrong list to pose the questi

body, but does not suppress header lines such as Received:,
X-*:, etc, in the manner of Muttprint.
The script uses the full path for lpr because the Cygwin lpr
behaves differently.

The Mutt manual implies that "+" and "=" are simply two

mailboxes. No difference?

read and write mbox format, but there is no
way to set this as the default; rather, you have to type something like
