    That was patch-1.5.8.hr.sensible_browser_position.3, posted here in
March 2005 by Haakon Riiser. I use it happily in production since then.
It indeed has ahum... rough edges, but the browser usability enhancement
overweights them by far. IMHO browser's navigation behaviour in stock
Mutt is just too deficient. Patched browser is not perfect, but is 3
levels above stock.

    The Mailboxes Browser. Note the patch acts on all browsers.


Bye!    Alain.
