If you provide such a function, then anybody who finds his messages corrupted because they were modified externally can simply "reload" the message, and his problem will go away. (The IMAP bug solved by this that strikes me first, FWIW, is when you're out of disk space and try reading a message, with or without the IMAP header cache patch. Mutt will cache what it thinks is the body of the message (which is totally blank, of course, for failure to create the temporary file) either way, and won't let you read the thing until you reopen the mailbox. Having a way to tell Mutt "You're out-of-date, dude!" would solve lots of other problems where the user knows more than the program.) - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
