It took me the better part of an hour to figure out what had happened (I originally thought it had crashed since there was no feedback). I could then have spent another hour reading the manual, finding the config options I wanted, and making the necessary changes. Instead I switched to using Netscape mail until it was convenient for me to download and install pine, and I haven't looked at mutt since. I have much more respect for good UI design than for the developers choice of license or other political considerations. Dan
