Feature Release

New Motto

NeoMutt - “Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks”

It’s very appropriate, it’s catchy, it’s funny. Thank you Alok Singh for the suggestion.

Important Changes

Sidebar

The Sidebar has been accepted into Mutt and has undergone some changes in the process. The default sidebar_format has changed to display only ‘N’ for new mail. If you want the old behaviour, please set this config:

set sidebar_format = "%B%?F? [%F]?%* %?N?%N/?%S"
set mail_check_stats = yes

Also note that $sidebar_refresh has been dropped. It is no longer needed and it was misleading when it was.
