I imagine everyone is feaverishly working on 7.0 but in case
there are still programmer cycles left for trivia, here are
two bits that bother me.

I leave mush running constantly and press return when I want
to view new mail.  Mush then lists new mail with a message like

	New mail (#n thru #m)
	 personx	date len subject
	 persony	date len subject
	 etc...

When I have 20 pieces of new mail its a bit of a hassle to
count down the new mail list figuring out the number of the
letter I want to read first.  Could the new-mail list be formatted
with hdr_format just like the 'h' command does?

Second, sometimes I like to save a letter in some folder and then
leave it in my system mailbox along with other unread mail.  I have
"hold" set but unless I specifically 'preserve' the letter I just
'save'd to the folder, when I quit, the letter gets put in mbox
and deleted from my system folder.  I guess I'm asking that "hold"
be expanded to automatically preserve saved letters.
