ok enough stupid little emails, I'll try to include everything else I
might come up with tonight in this one

possible oversight:

* Changing views always reset to message 1 it should try to stay
  'near' where it was like expunge does

* The background color of the current view is black, it looks rather
  weird when the rest of the separation bar is rv

* default config shouldn't bold broadcast messages to message,personal
  it's bad enough that normal zwgc does it

        # make personal messages bold
            if (uc($owl::class) eq "MESSAGE" &&
     +          $owl::recipient eq "$ENV{USER}\@ATHENA.MIT.EDU" &&
                uc($owl::instance) eq "PERSONAL") {


request:

* I don't like deleting messages often because I like to be able to
  view all of them to search for things and refer to them later.  I'd
  like a way to create a view that doesn't contain messages marked for
  deletion

* Include this function in the default config files

# Use ":aperl reload" to reload .owlconf
sub reload {
    if (do "$ENV{HOME}/.owlconf") {
        return "owlconf reloaded";
    } else {
        return "owlconf load attempted, but error encountered:\n $@";
    }
}

* make $owl::auth available in format_msg
