Re: new things in 1.5.18

First, I see that when mutt is Evaluating Cache or Fetching Headers (or
other things too), there is now a percentage displayed to the right of
the fraction that tells how far along mutt is in the process. There
used to simply be a fraction. Can I get rid of this? Since I've set
the (wonderful) new "time_inc" to 10000, what happens now is that mutt
displays "0%" unless the operation takes more than 10 seconds. I would
rather it not display any percentage at all. "0%" makes it look like
mutt has frozen. Also, the less cluttered the message the better.
You cannot only remove the percentage (in general the percentage doesn't
reflect the fraction and vice versa, but I think for IMAP it does).
However, when you set time_inc this large, you won't get other progress
updates within 10s since the whole progress line is updated, not just
the percentage. So why don't you disable them at all when you don't need
the information?
Second, when I change IMAP folders, there seem to be more steps than
before that mutt goes through before showing me what's in my folders.
I used to see Evaluating Cache, and then if there were no new messages
since the last caching, mutt would go straight to "Sorting Mailbox" and
then show me the folder. If there were new messages since last
caching, then mutt would say "Fetching Headers" while it grabbed the
rest of them. Now, I notice that even when the folder has just been
cached and no new content is added, mutt will *still* take the time to
display "Fetching Headers". 1.5.17 did not do this, if I recall
correctly. Can I switch this off somehow?
Does this always happen for the same folder with the same mutt version?
Mutt 1.5.18 contains a fix for header caching with a structrure
different to 1.5.17. Whenever the structure differs, mutt 1.5.18 will
consider a message missing cached with 1.5.17 and vice-versa. So
fetching headers again for already cached folders could well be a
one-time symptom.
Note that you could make it even worse when constantly switching between
mutt 1.5.17 and 1.5.18 if they use the same hcache...
