• User setting to read new or unread netmail on login

    Or even a "Search for new mail" prompt that behaves as the sub one, but only searches mail for unread messages.

    Looks like `bbs.read_mail(MAIL_YOUR, user.number, LM_UNREAD|LM_NOSPAM);` is approximately what I would like the yesno() to do.

    Hrm, with the new code, I see this on login:
    ```
    New e-mail from shurd@FreeBSD.org <FreeBSD.org>
    [√] Read your mail now? No
    ```

    Reading my mail, I see this:
    ```
    Mail Waiting (oldest first):

    1 deon R TITHmailer
    2 deon TITHmailer
    3 John F Kennedy Trade War
    4 Stephen Hurd S SPAM: Just a test so you have new mail...
    5 shurd@FreeBSD.org S SPAM: Test message #1
    6 Stephen Hurd S SPAM: Test message #2
    ```

    Which looks like five unread messages, though they may all have been fetched via POP3.

    Not sure if there's a way to toggle "unread".

    Also, it looks like sbl.spamhous.org may have changed how the respond. :(

    So this seems to be listing them with the newest message first? This feels like a weird order, but it looks like it was intentionally chosen for some reason?

    Newest first (on top) is usually how I have my mail sorted, so doesn't feel weird to me. It's also how the (U)nread mail command displays the mail form the E-mail section/menu. I was just mimicking that behavior. I suppose it could just whatever sort order the user last chose/toggled (with the '!' key).

    Huh, I don't think I've ever sorted any of my mail newest on top (except the GMail at work that I never look at).

    Much better... it's still a bit odd that it takes me to the mail prompt rather than taking me to reading my mail though (ie: is different than the new message scan right after it), but at least now it seems I can just keep hitting enter during login to read all the new messages.

    This can be closed if you don't plan on making any other changes.
