I liked this behavior very > much, since it is intuitive and, IMO, correct. My original version of the patch had "menu_move_off" configurable, defaulting to "yes", i.e. the previous mutt behaviour. Thomas decided that he fixed it to "no", since that would make the index symmetric, i.e. not move off at neither end. It's also the way I had been using the patch. I don't use <current-middle>, but what I noticed in my mutt usage was the following: without menu_context > 0, I would constantly hit <space> to see if there were new messages below the indicator if it was at the bottom of the screen (iirc it always was there). With menu_context > 0, the index automatically scrolls up upon arrival. So, if you used <current-middle> so far to get the indicator off the bottom to check for new mail, you might want to try menu_context instead. I could be wrong in your case, but in mine it really worked :-) > Haven't looked at the source yet, shouldn't be too hard to make > optional, but first like to hear other people's opinion on this. You just have to include the code for menu_move_off. If desired, I'll update the remaining part of the patch for CVS. Christoph -- cb@xxxxxxxx | http://www.df7cb.de/
