verbose mode for mutt in command line ?

[Stephane BAUSSON]

Hello

Is it possible to get a kind of verbose mode with a little like with
"elm" when you type a
command like the following:

echo toto | mutt root

Because mutt stay silent with that ....

with elm it should write:

rebecca:6% echo toto | elm root
Sending mail...
Mail sent!

Thank you

Try: (echo toto | mutt root) && echo -e "Sending mail...\nMail sent!"

But seriously, I'm not sure why you need it to tell you that it sent
mail -- you told it to send mail, and it didn't tell you that it failed,
so you can assume that it succeeded. This is expected behavior from
Unix tools.

So - where's the patch that will elm shut up about it?
Gotta add this one to my page on elm patches. ;-)
