Right, the command that alot fires initially - if not stated otherwise in the config or command line arguments - is
"search tag:inbox AND NOT tag:killed", which opens a new search buffer for query "tag:inbox AND NOT tag:killed".

We might consider changing this, as it indeed suggest that inbox or killed tags are special in some sense.
I'm not sure if its a great idea to not fire any command initially by default. After all,
people don't start up theyr mail client and want to stare at a blank terminal.

Perhaps we could drop the "AND NOT tag:killed" here, I don't really have strong feelings about that.
To change the initial command edit the "initial_command" config option:
