I didn't defend my feature request very well. Yeah, some other program
could also poll all my sources. But then half the time I'd get the
notification and then be looking at a sup with no new mail, because *it*
hadn't gotten around to polling and seeing the new mail yet.
I'm a minimalist and hate bloat. This feature request is like maybe 5
extra lines. This exact feature has been useful in other MUAs like
Sylpheed and Claws. It would be easy to ignore. It wouldn't slow down
anything by any meaningful amount.
