Yesterday I built Mutt 1.5 on Cygwin, which worked fine; and today I discovered the Cygwin maintainers have done so as well. So Cygwin 1.7 now has Mutt 1.5.
One problem that comes with the update is Mutt's notion of what is new mail and what is read mail. In 1.4, it worked as it should: mailboxes containing new mail were flagged, and reading it unset the flag. Now in 1.5, every mailbox is flagged as containing new mail each time I start Mutt. When building Mutt 1.5, I noticed that the --enable-buffy-size configure script flag has disappeared. When building 1.4, it seemed to me that this flag is needed to make mutt remember having read new mail in a box so it isn't flagged as new any more. Is that also the cause of the now dysfunctional new mail detection in 1.5, broken at least in my configuration and on Cygwin? How can new mail detection be repaired for 1.5? -- Michael Ludwig
