  Most of my customization of my .mushrc has been based around
the advanced.mushrc file included in the tar. One thing struck me as
quite odd --- the .mushrc file is read before the folder is. There is
all this stuff with $first_time, etc... which seemed silly --- why
not a command (which could be called from the init file) that
would cause the mailbox to be read in? That way the .mushrc could
deal with pre-initialisation, and then sort my mail too. (The first
thing I always do in mush is to type 'n' anyway...)

  Is there some reason that this would be difficult to implement?
(I'm asking before I stick my head in mush source for a day or two... :-))
