I know that Sam. I wasn't deliberately trying to do anything. I just
happened to start the newly installed copy of cone, and it hung, so I
tried to figure out what was happening. All I was trying to tell you
is that perhaps cone should gracefully fail with some kind of error
message when it can't open the mbox file, instead of getting stuck in
an endless loop without any explanation.

Ok. Will cone provide a way to a pipe a raw message to a pager like
less in the future, so that I can view a message's headers as they
are?

I have 470 addresses in my mutt addressbook. If you provide no
way of importing addresses into cone, then I'd have to enter 470
entries by hand, and that's not a nice thought. In fact, much as the
interface of cone is very nice, with all these powerful features, I
think I'll stick to mutt for now. There are just too many features in
mutt that I find useful, which are missing in cone, and sometimes I
get the feeling that you're not too keen on accommodating users who
come from another mail client.
