Hi all, I've been using a patch by Byrial Jensen, which makes mutt display the date and/or time in its status bar, for years. Maybe not one of the most useful, or problem-solving patches, but I just like it. I have attached an updated version of this patch, which applies to CVS. I'm not arguing for its inclusion into CVS, just wanted to share it with you. All credits for this patch go to Byrial Jensen. -- René Clerc - (rene@xxxxxxxx) - PGP: 0x9ACE0AC7 Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum. -Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
