Why doesn't mutt use summary files like Netscape to reduce mbox load
time?

Is there a command to advance to the next unread message in any mailbox
specified by the 'mailboxes' setting?

When I send mail fcc-ed to one of the mailboxes in 'mailboxes', mutt
reports new mail in that mailbox.  Is there any way to avoid this?

When I type ":set pgp_verify_sig no", mutt 1.2.4i says, "unknown
variable", though this variable is listed in my manual.txt.  mutt -v

With PGP/MIME, is there any easy solution that allows people with
PGP/MIME-capable mail clients to receive PGP/MIME and everybody else to
receive traditional PGP messages?  I'm thinking a procmail recipe that
looks at incoming email and puts the sender's email address in
/home/dan/.pgpmime-capable or /home/dan/.pgpmime-notcapable.
        If the email is PGP/MIME, the sender goes in .pgpmime-capable.
        If the email is PGP traditional, the sender goes in 
            .pgpmime-notcapable .
        If the User-Agent or X-Mailer or From is one of those that deal
            really really horribly with PGP/MIME (Outlook (Express?),
            Hotmail, et al.), the sender goes in pgpmime-notcapable .
Then, in .muttrc...
        sendhook . 'unset pgp_create_traditional'
            # If we don't know, send them PGP/MIME to encourage them to
            # use PGP/MIME.
        source "sed -e \"s/^\\(.*\\)$/send-hook '~t \1' 'set
            pgp_create_traditional'/\" < /home/dan/.pgpmime-notcapable"
        source "sed -e \"s/^\\(.*\\)$/send-hook '~t \1' 'unset
            pgp_create_traditional'/\" < /home/dan/.pgpmime-capable"
        # (The escaping of shell commands in .muttrc is miserable, btw).
Is there any better solution?  Are there any other clients that deal
horribly with PGP/MIME?

BTW, how do you verify PGP/MIME signatures with PGP 6 for Windows?

Q:      How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?
A:      Two, one to hold the giraffe, and the other to fill the bathtub
        with brightly colored machine tools.
