[PATCH] Following symlinks when deleting mail



Hi all,

I've created a patch which adds an option

      unlink_follow (bool, default=false)

to mutt. If set, the option makes the MH/Maildir code follow symlinks
when unlinking a message. This can be very handy in combination with e.g. mairix to allow deletion of messages through complex searches on multiple mailboxes (or, most usefully *subsets* of complex searches, tagged using the mutt index of the search folder).

The patch should apply cleanly to 1.5.8 (and CVS). Comments and suggestions welcome.

Cheers,
