Actually, this place is for Mutt users to support Mutt users, but when
the Mutt docs are no longer sufficient.

See above.
Also, you forget one important thing. The quality of answers on this
list (and with any support forum) depends greatly on the quality of its
members. Its members are not paid to provide FREE support. Everyone
here is helping others for free out of the goodness of their hearts.
Such compassion can be overused and abused by freeloaders who ask more
questions than they answer. Eventually, people get tired of answering.
So, don't abuse the list, and remember that behind every single bit of
information lies a human being.
BTW, I went to the HTML docs and searched for "beep". It took me about
30 seconds to find the answer to the question. How hard could it be?
