Well, imagine the following scenario:
You have a mailinglist with about 1000 ppl on it. There are about 50 ppl
a day, asking similar easy questions.
Who will then take over the more advanced problems if they are all busy in
replying to the easy questions which everyone could solve with a little
googleing (Searching google for "mutt beep new mail" gives exactly what
you were looking for on the first hit) ?
With kind regards,
