 Package: mutt

 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.
