Well originally, mutt's team didn't want to build in any feature that
something else was designed to handle and could be hooked to.  It was never
meant to have pop3 or imap support directly built in.  They capitulated
eventually when enough users griped.  Well, I know pop3 was included.  I
-think- they added imap eventually, but can't swear to that.

"Where does the window go?" is on the critical path of being a flipping GUI
application, no matter the functionality.  I wrote a CoD4 map grabber and a
CoD4 weapon editor.  I at least take pride in centering my window with a
call to geometry() at launch.  It's called polish.  Apparently, he and I
share different design sensibilities.
