I disagree. I often (too often) glance at that line in the two
instances of mutt I have running most of the time on my desktop to
see if any new mail has arrived. If I'm not interested in those
particular messages at the time, but I want to know if any further
new mail arrives, I simply move the cursor to clear the message.
I also like that the message disappears automatically after I
perform some action in mutt. In that way I'm sure that any
new-message notification in that line has occurred after the last
time I did something in mutt.
