[survey] mutt - default settings on Debian
Hello,
this is a simple survey to convince the maintainer of mutt to change
some default settings in Debian's /etc/Muttrc. Please comment parts of
this mail with (change it | keep current) and send it back to me:
- display of the date - by (current) default, the Date: field is not
displayed together with the message text. The only way to see the
date is to leave the pager and look at the index line, and there is
still only the short string (Jun 12), no year, no exact time.
Suggested change:
remove "ignore date" setting and make the date visible everywhere
- colors: the current color map is acceptable but sucks WRT clear
visible contrasts: green on blue is not good readable, black on blue
is also bad.
Suggested changes (attached):
more White-on-Blue
red index marker
dark-green unimportant header lines
bright-yellow Subject: and Date: fields
- current settings hide the index view when the message is beeing
displayed in the pager. I think it makes sense to keep the overview
of the next few messages while the current message is displayed.
Suggested change:
set pager_index_lines=5
Thanks for your comments,
Eduard.
