viewing two multiple mails
Hi Mutt users:
Mutt and console application are great, but there's one feature
in the gui mail clients that I miss: I can open one message in a new
window, then open another(possibly in another mailbox) to view them
simultaneously. I know this is probably hard to achieve in a console
application, but what I want to do at least is this:
When I view an mail 1 in mailbox/directory 1, then I temporary
suspend this viewing and go to an mail 2 in mailbox 2(or another message
in the same mailbox). After consulting with the message 2 and quit,
I want to return to the same position in the first mail. Currently what
I do is I close mail 1 and change directory(c) to mailbox 2, but when I
return to 1, I'm again at the newest message and I have to search again
to go to message 1.
Alternatively, I can fire up another instance of mutt in another
xterm and view the mail. But often I get locking issues from my imap
server, so that I get kicked out of inbox in instance 1 after using
instance 2. I don't have this issue when viewing locally stored
mailbox.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
