Even in the latest (beta) version, mutt displays the size of all messages
as "0" if they are in a Maildir.

"Lines:" header, but I'm wondering if there's a less kludgy way to do
this.

I'm used to using pine's editor, which handles filling of paragraphs (even

I tinkered around a bit more and came up with this code for making Ctrl+J

It assumes that ^[> ]*$ is the paragraph separator, meaning that any line

Is it possible to see the SMTP "MAIL FROM" line of a message in my
mailbox, or does Maildir format strip that information out before storing
it?
I just had another thought: Might it make sense to store sent mail
together with normal messages?
A fundamental problem is that mutt's "Search" feature cannot search over
multiple mailboxes. Thus, if I want to review a series of e-mails that I
exchanged with someone about a specific topic, then i

qmail sets environment variables that tells the MDA what the "MAIL FROM"

I made a patch to command.c which changes the operation of the "Save"

to "no".
It will cause the saved message to be immediately unlink()ed and
removed from the screen. The rationale for doing this is that since

I couldn't find the answer in the manual, so I'm asking it here:
How do I make mutt not bother checking PGP signatures on messages
(since I don't have anyone's PGP keys anyway)?
I'm a bit confused about how to use maildir_trash.
If maildir_trash is off, then when I quit mutt, if I answer "no" to
purging the messages, then it will lose all the "Deleted" flags.
If maildir_trash is on, then that works. However, then it doesn't seem
to be possible to purge deleted messages
