When I started using mutt I was coming from 5 years of pine. Yet I read the manual, searched the web for config scripts, carefully adding one new config at a time. I don't know why I did it this way... sheer luck, too much time on my hands... I don't know. But I am a happy mutt user now. As of _hours_ of state on you inbox, that's another issue: you should move mail in different folders, manually or with filters. If you have a crowded mailbox is hard to read, scan. It's like having all your files in one directory. florin -- "you have moved your mouse, please reboot to make this change take effect" 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4
