In fact I do :) More precisely, I expect the same screen that greeted me when I first opened the mailbox. I found the legacy behaviour very intuitive, as strange as it may sound to you. And I'd really like the default set of options to keep things exactly the way they were back in the 1.5.7 days. What Tamo's patch produce for me was a screen with only one entry at the very top. To me that's pessimal. A full screen I could probably live with, although I prefer the symmetry of the old behaviour. > > I'd like it to. > > Yet another option?
