Re: [survey] mutt - default settings on Debian

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
no strong opinion
- 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
keep current
(I don't think the split-pane view is very useful in 80x24 so I disagree
with it being the default).

I don't want to 'water down' this survey, but there are three strong
suggestions of my own which at the very least, I would like your opinion
on :)
1) change the sorting so that a thread's 'date' is the date of the LAST
post to the thread, not the first. Otherwise, a new reply to a thread
may not be immediately visible. This is in line with e.g. how gmail does it.
set sort_aux=last-date-received
2) rebind the reply key so that, if a list is know, a list reply is done
first
see
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200311/msg02518.html
macro index r <list-reply><reply>
macro pager r <list-reply><reply>
3) Don't put the key for 'exit without saving' right next to 'change
folder'. See

bind index x noop
bind pager x noop
