The maintainer has stripped down the patch somewhat to make it less intrusive. Also, it now works with slang wheras it didn't before, and no longer conflicts with any of our other patches.
Just waiting for the patch to be attached...
Created attachment 36148 [details] sidebar ebuild
Created attachment 36230 [details] badsidebar.png Sorry, puggy, I gave this a try and it has a couple issues at least: 1. set mbox_pane_show="no" -- doesn't work, documentation claims it does 2. sidebar rendering gets screwed up sometimes. Here is how it looks on my system (alpha, USE=-slang, in an xterm where mutt was just running correctly a second ago, and yes I have to mailboxes called INBOX) I don't think this is ready for prime time, personally.
Btw, the lack of working mbox_pane_show isn't really what worries me. It's the fact that it doesn't always render correctly. That isn't the kind of thing I want to put in our mutt ebuild.
I'll close this WONTFIX for now until the patch is patched to work correctly...
