But I don't have that for things like "next", and what happens is AFTER
I quit the pager, I see the line:
(Message inbox:xxx)
after? i suppose if your pager does the screen switch thing, then it
might appear to come after, but it's definitely being output before.
Oh, definitely, but the screen switching thing done by
curses/termcap/terminfo for xterm. I thought it was pretty standardized
now, that's why I'm surprised it didn't work for Andy.
Contrary to it's name, "show"'s job isn't really to display a message;
it's to SELECT one or more messages for display. Hence the reason
"next" and "prev" are really links to "show". Once messages have been
selected, it's really supposed to be your showproc's job to display the
message, and the default showproc is mhl. This suggests to me not that
we should switch show over to mhshow, but really make mhl MIME-aware.
Then show would get the relevant switches for things like MIME part
selection (which would end up being passed down to mhl) and mhshow would
go away. Well, we'd keep a link around for it, but really, mhshow would
just become show.
okay. i'll have to think about that some.
As a corollary, I have no objections to people improving show/mhshow. I'm
just trying to explain what I think the long-term vision should be.
You can see some of my thoughts on a "new MIME" architecture here:
