Sure, I'll sort that out tonight.  I've been getting more annoyed with
mutt recently.

Just create a notes file and jot stuff down.  There's no point in
writing the docs for this until something's started to be written.

How is Jakob?  I wonder if he's in Afghanistan.

The extensibiilty is very important to me.  GNU for a long time
couldn't do anything with encryption because of US export regulations.
I suspect they will get stronger again, and I want anyone to be able
to just load a simple mod to get it.  Preferrably without recompiling.

BTW, has the mailx code been updated to the new API?  It would make a
nice reference for some things.
