Description
Right now, bitlbee pulls the default 20 most recent tweets from the user's timeline at connect time. It would be nice if there was a set variable for the optional "count" to allow for customizing how many tweets it tries to retrieve when you connect.
Alternately, allow for this to be enabled or disabled as a flag (similar to show_old_mentions), but allowing a specific value (0-200) to be used would be cooler.

Hm. What about making show_old_mentions an integer? I'm all for keeping the number of settings low. Especially for settings most people are never going to touch.

Hrmm. Although this patch works, I don't think it addresses the whole problem BTW? I think the request is much more about fetching more or less of the normal timeline (although always fetching tens of mentions is definitely not useful, yes).

Oh, yes, seems like I got off the track here a little. Adding this won't be much of a trouble, but it'll certainly add another set var as it's not right to use the same value for both mentions and ordinary twits.

Merged show_old_mentions to ignore_backlog, now we have a single backlog config var to managed how many old tweets are being served.

Closing this one since 3.4 additionally skips repeated tweets between reconnections, which i believe is the main issue here.
But feel free to reopen if that isn't enough.
Might be useful. When you have low mention traffic it gets really annoying getting same 20 messages on every reconnect. Attached is a little patch which adds old_mentions_count acc set variable.
