It's running at 16MHz. Consequently, things get a bit slow... Anyway, I've noticed that my blood pressure stays much lower if I know what the program is doing that is making it take so long. Consequently, I put some lambda's on nnmail-pre-get-new-mail-hook and nnmail-prepare-incoming-header-hook that give me messages saying, "Sorting message %d..." whenever I grab new mail. This makes me happy. Should I turn these hook expressions into full-fledged patches, and send them in? The reason I'm asking is this: If you're running on a really fast box (and you have simple splitting rules, which I don't), those messages could just whiz by you, potentially causing some worry because the thing's printing messages that you don't get an opportunity to read. I hope y'all will forgive me if I'm being too pedantic.
