Must be a vanity issue. Take a look at the mutt manual, section 6.3.73, index_format. It describes how to customize the message list/index. There is a lot of stuff you can do to it. I didn't like the default so here is what I changed it to. set index_format="%Z %[%m/%d %H:%M] %-15.15F %s" It's a nice, terse format that I use. Essentially it's just the flags, the date, the author of the message (or who I sent it to) and the subject. I didn't like seeing the list the message came from since I usually filter mailing lists out to their own mailbox with procmail. Speaking of procmail... no, you can't put procmail recipes in your .muttrc. I was just noting why I was defining another mailbox for mutt to look at. Nate
