Is there a hook in mutt which runs when new messages arrive in a mailbox? If not, then I don't think we could make this function run as it is now. > If nothing happens in particular, then this is a bit useless. Depends on your use case. I'm using this patch and for me it's good enough to get rid of these messages upon opening my inbox.

Right now the command is bound to a key, so it's not automatic. Adding it to a hook is purely optional. > If something needs to be done, I'd rather see an improvement of > the pattern system, where one can have pattern variables, and some > functions to operate on these variables (this would include saving > them and reloading them).

Would the patterns be applied when new messages arrive?
