Thanks Rich!

I loved this new_mail-command but only yesterday switched it off
because of very many "false positives", alas, 

FWIW I used it thusly:
set new_mail_command="echo New Mail %n ">/tmp/newmail"
and then in my screencaptionrc:
backtick 1 3 3 cat /tmp/newmail

So in my status line I have what in the old days they called an Xbiff.

PS.
Thanks for teaching this old mutt many new tricks - ahhhh
Long may it live.

Best wishes
Eric
