Can we look at enabling header caching by default? It's an absolute

Yes, accessing imap servers without hcache is horrible.
I don't remember when last I ran mutt without it, except for tests, and it is very stable (at least with the bdb backend -- I have too little experience of the tokyocabinet backend).
I'm not sure which backend would be best if we enable hcache by default.
- bdb is pretty stable
- tokyocabinet feels much faster on osx, I haven't tested seriously on other platforms yet.
Do you have an opinion ?
