hi all,
attached is a patch which adds boolean option $subj, which (when set)
causes old (unread) messages to stay in new/ so that they can be properly
treated as new messages without parsing the content of each file in cur/
subdirecory, ...
feel free to apply a/o include the patch somewhere....
thanx,
martin
P.S. sorry for unnecessary crossposting but www.mutt.org doesn't precisely say
where and how to contribute the new code :-(
