Well, it's nice (finally) to see mush take its place among the other user
mail agents of the world. A couple of questions an comments:

(1) Is there currently any way of feeding mush the header of the mail you
want to send and then have it drop into its usual "sending" mode. The
reason I ask is that I would like to use mush as my mailer when replying
or following up to usenet articles. Rn has a mailer (rnmail I think)
which takes "-h" as an argument which seems to me to mean: read standard
input until EOF and take this as the header. Then start reading from the
terminal again to get the text of the message. I've tried a number of
things but haven't been able to accomplish this.

(2) Is there a bug in changing the variables "ignore and alwaysignore"
after initialization? It seems that I can't get the effect of turning
them off an on and getting the right things to happen (maybe this is an
RTFM).

(3) Are there any plans in the future to allow the curses (I don't use
the suntool mode at the moment) mode to deal with 2 folders at once?
I constantly have to refer to mail people have previously sent me (and
now stored in another folder) or mail I have previously written (saved by
"record"). I would really like to have it that you could "split" the
screen in two and deal with both folders at once.


Mush is the only thing that saves my sanity (I can receive up to
150 new messages every day). Keep the good work up you guys!
