not even the header needs to be read when just searching for the number of
new / old mail...
simply count the files in ./new and the files in ./cur ... the sum of them
is the total count of messages and in ./new are the new ones...
I've got some information to my private eMail address about where these
printf like sequences are interpreted. If someone is interested I'll bounce
the mail.
As I am consumed quite much with my scanner driver project I don't think I'll
have enough time to understand/change the mutt sources.
If there should really be noone willing to try it, I'll go and do it... but
don't expect it to be today or tomorrow...
