In that regard, you're absolutely right. I usually do not subscribe to
mailing-lists in a daily basis, so this never bit me. I can bring the
code back in as an option... Please enter this as a "Feature Request" on
sourceforge so I can keep track of it.

Well, most messages in the queue will never be replied to. Nothing
substitutes a good glance in your queue once in a while. I do it every

Ah, yes. I also plan to add MH support to ASK. This will make your life
easier for sure.
