Hi,
    I am new to mush, and have recently started using it. I have 
just used it for a couple of days, and find some of the things 
irritating.  Is there a mush guru out there who could help me out?

    1.  Whenever I want to move a mail message to a folder, mush 
    asks me for a confirmation.  Is there anyway to turn this off?  
    I couldnt find it in the man pages, but then I was not sure 
    what to look for.

    2. When I go through the folder menu, I get this huge list of 
    folders.  I was using mailtool on a sun before this, and had 
    organised these in directories.  mailtool would show me the 
    folder directpry, adn then I could walk through to the folder 
    I wanted.  I would very much like to see the same feature in mush.

    3. Mailtool had a convenient feature that allowed you to also see 
    the ignored headers if you really wanted to. (You could do a 
    <shift><show>) I tried changing the headers being ignored through 
    the options menu, but mushtool would still not show me a field 
    that was ignored at mush-startup

    4. One of the really neat features with regard to folders in 
    mailtool was a small cache of recently accessed folders maintained 
    by the tool.  One could select these folders conveniently by hitting 
    the right mouse button at the "File:" prompt.

    5. The other point to note is that the folder accessed through the 
    folder menu does not become the default folder.  This can be really 
    handy at times.

    6. About the sort options, it would be nice to be able to sort a 
    folder by the recipient.  (Extremely handy for the record!)

thanks
sanjay
