With the -e switch, mutt can be used for a lot of useful, automated
mailbox munging tasks. Unfortunatly, none of these tasks work if mutt's
standard input is not connected to a tty. If stdin is anything else,
mutt enters noninteractive mail sending mode.
This means that none of the handy things I have recipies to make mutt do
with mutt -e commands work in cron jobs.
I would like a new flag to be added, that forces mutt to enter
interactive mode even if there is no controlling terminal.
