hey,
First, 0.9 is nice, thanks for that.
I want to ask the list about a thing (2 things actually, since 0.9) that has been bugging me.
ask_for_contacts is loading 10 contacts from index, imho this doesn't make a sane default (it's too low). I've always patched this to 500 on my end - yes, it takes a second or two to load that many contacts from index but this doesn't bug me as much as first looking up the person and then composing to him.
second, since labels-before-subject was integrated, it's hard to follow thread index on small screen. Most of my inbox is tagged with 3 labels, mailing-list could be tagged with up to 5 labels. The problem is especially bad on very small screens (like mobiles with ssh clients).
I'm tempted to submit a patch that enables to tune these behaviors via config. I don't find these hook-worthy as first is just a integer (default must stay reasonably low for people with slower computers) and second only makes sense together with full thread-index line customization (I'm not sure about the performance impact or complexity it might bring).
Anyone else sharing my view or I just keep patching on my end? :)

If you search through the archives you should find a patch I submitted
for an alternate view. The default alternate view I find very good on
smaller devices and its configurable via a hook if you want anything
more. Not sure if its going to get integrated into sup though
(Any thoughts William? - I can resubmit if necessary)
You would need to change the keypress from "~" to something that isnt
taken (currently thats taken as a console view).

I'm a little wary of starting down the slippery slope of a million
different screen configurations, but maybe it's ok to have a "small
screen mode". Is that what the alternate view is for?

Yeah, this number should be increased. Unfortunately the time required
is tied to your index size and your machine, and 500 is way too slow for
me.
There are actually two numbers: the number of initial contacts, and the
number that gets added when you press "M". I've changed the first to (2
* # of screen rows) and the second to 100. Hopefully that's a little
more usable to you.
