let's not take it too far!

there are a LOT of features in vim
which I'd like to see in mutt -
but the combination might look like a
new version of emacs - without the LISP.

it would be a big step if the error reporting
was improved when you ":source file" -
from a setup file and (especially)
from with mutt on the command line.

alas, the error reporting of mutt sucks.
(well, compared to better programs.
 there's always worse, of course. ;-)

i'd be content if mutt printed errors with
an error type number as you can find errors
in the source much more easily; and also
makes documentation much easier.  example:

  mutt: error[type]: filename line_number
   errand line

also, a printout on the sourced files
during startup makes it easier to
see which files are actually used.
helpful for both users and admins.

but what's an idea unless you have a patch?
