I use mutt all day every day, but I didn't know I had mutt-kz, mutt-patched and now maybe neomutt options. OOI how should I have discovered this, and where are the differences described? > My #1 concern with sidebar is that the way to disable it is not advertised > prominently enough. I have never worked out how to turn it on. I have noticed many other people at conferences with an interesting-loking sidebar on their mutt. But I don't have one, presumably due to the ancient muttrc I've been carrying around for 15 years. Perhaps I need to be running one of the variants to get it, but I presume it's just a config option? I have looked/fiddled a couple of times, but a sidebar never appears I did once try to get notmuch working too, but failed on that as well. So I guess the point is that some of us 'conservative' users are interested in the new features, we just don't know what we are doing, or even that they are available (didn't know I could read NNTP in mutt either). Knowing how to turn things off when they are annoying is of course very important too. Just my 2p. Thanks for the packaging efforts.
